Why risk your life to save a couple of bucks? If the traction bar setup breaks at the track or on the street you are TOTALLY screwed

Full-race, Z10

If you can't afford to buy one of the NICE sets then just keep your stock front crossmember until you can, that's what I'm doing lol </TD></TR></TABLE>

That is what I am doing. I also put in the urethane bushings to help out as well. These guys have to know that if there not making them strong enough and some one dies it will be there ***................

I'm pissed that i bought ETD. I read every article/post on honda-tech and g2ic, even called John at ETD personally. 2 weeks they have been on the car and i want to take them off. The cracking and popping are out of control LOUD. Every time i brake or hit the gas = POP crack. I've checked, and re-check the torque spec, and aint off. I have gen 4 bar.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by RTW DC2R &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I have the newest version of the ETD bars on my DC2R and they are great. 400+whp. Completely eliminated any wheel hop I had (and I had super violent hop). They also helped eliminate shaking on downshifts due to running a heavy duty 6 puck clutch and solid motor mounts.

As far as customer service goes, before I purchased I was assurred they would be shipped that day because I needed them for that weekend. Several days later I called because they had not arrived and they said they were still waiting on some thing required to make them?? Anyway they upgraded me to the newest stronger version and I havent had any problems with them. AFAIK it was the older versions that had problems and the newer versions are supposed to correct those problems. </TD></TR></TABLE>

I agree, I have the newer ones on my integra. THey are very very nice!
