FFgeoff, hey man, how are you?? I have a question, what is wrong with the stock bars on the DA's and EF's??? Do you really need z10 bars or Jimfabs on a car that already has them???

Is it worth the money to replace them??

Let me know sir
Del

These are the ones on my car. I've had them on for about 5 mos and love them. The car has no wheel hop unless its wet out. I had them build with the least angle I could and still have 100% clearance.

Default Re: The answer!! (h22civic2)

for the h22, i really think the jimfabs should clear. The z10 bring the bar just wayyy too far in to clear properly. Im almost positive the jimfabs would clear, but i cant really guarantee anything.

as far as the comp engineering bars go buck, they are just dangerous. Try the jimfab ones for sure. I mean you could modify the comp engineering oens to work, but it probably isnt worth the effort, and they weigh a TON

When you guys have these traction bars, does these bars get in the way of a front lower tie bar? or like you 3"inch turbo dp and what not?

I was planning to buy a front lower tie bar, but wasn't sure if it will work with the traction bars.

since this got a bump, this is what will happen to your bushings if you dont use a jimfab bar. note the heavily damaged/torn bushing.

Those are my jacked up bushings. I didn't have a press so I just got overcharged for a shop to press the old ones out and the new ones in. If you are going to diy, I recommend getting the honda special tools for pressing out the bushings. It'll make it a lot easier for you.

I put up Tsuperbike69's jimfab traction bars up to my h22 eg and they got really close to the oil pan but they cleared with the car up in the air, but I didn't have time to fully install them and drive around so I am not for sure that they will clear.

Yeah, I know, I called him last night after I posted that and asked to borrow them to fully install them, but needless to say, he has since fully installed them on his car and he doesn't want to take them off. I guess I will just have to buy some and try them for myself!
