I would go with the http://www.jimfab.com one to!

I hear the Competition Engineering one has a really poor turning radius and there was a thread awhile back about the incorrect mouting points of the Z10 kit causing it to bind.

I have the z10 kit with no problems but would like to give the Jim Fab kit a try

I heard that z10 only made the CRX Crossmember correct. The ones for the 92-UP civic/integra's were not made right.

Glad i got a crx hehe.

"JimFab.com's replacement cross member is made from 4130 chromoly tubing and oversized steel brackets. This unit helps to lessen the harsh shuttering that the Civic, CRX, and Integras receive when under hard acceleration or high speed turns. This unit will also help to improve 60 foot times, not to mention the generous amounts of room it leaves for 4 to 1 headers or turbo kits. You will not find a better built part!!! This cross member uses high quality oversized Teflon lined rod ends, CNC machined parts for the radius rods and end cups, you will be impressed. The CRX cross member will work with a B-series swap. Not recommended for street use." -jimfab

JimFab is by far the best. His site might say not for the street but that is just for legal purposes. Turbos are usually not smog legal either but everyone does it
None stronger than Jim's
