I have not tried them, but a friend has them on his teg.... They help a lot in regards to wheel hop.. But I could find a lot more stuff to spend my money on.

for $360 are they worth it? I mean if your a track racer and you need help on traction due to wheel hop then are these where to put you money?

YES!!!!!!!!

The Z10 bars work f'ing awesome!!!!

I can't say enough about them, they are one of the best investments I've made to the suspension.

Anyways, you can get them for $350 from http://www.nrg-racing.com I believe they have some in stock.

Later.

yeah i use the same setup on the race car to cut 1.48 60ft times. They have dramatically increased the traction on the car.

will there be any clearance problems w/ a lowered ride? i saw on the itr forum a while ago someone installed one on their itr and when the car was lowered off the jackstands the bars ran pretty close to the wheels. i dont know if the guy's car had lowering springs in addition. i cant remember the specifics.

i have them. there nice got them from nrg-racing for pretty cheap in a group buy. car has great response and feels pretty solid now. anyone else had problems with the bolt on the lca coming loose. both of mine were a tad loose after about 3 weeks. i check them frequently though. i prolly didnt need them considering my setup or lack there of but i had the $ and it was a great deal.

I understand that drag racers love them....would they do anything for handling? More power down out of a corner?

they give a slight adjustability in caster, and improve stability. They keep the control arms from pitching. This helps stability in steady state cornering, and reduces bump steer. So, yes, it does improve handling

I drove my friends car and he had these radius arms in his 99 CTR and the just burn out instead ofwheels hope also it improved his 60 foot times alot

Before= 13.30 @ 107mph 60'= 2.02

After = 13.19 @ 104 MPH 60'= 1.89

So they helped

You missed the boat. There were a couple of them going for a while.

I think around $350 is the going price. Some people charge more, some less. It all depends on who has what in stock.

25*10*13 M&Hs
AVG slick should get you in the 1.8-1.9 60ft

crx kit is full front corss memeber is removed that is why it is so expensive compared to the bolt in on the civics and intergras. The factory c member on the crx do not allow for any bseries headers and stuff. But if you do use the CRX kit from z10 it does all you more space and room to use a good header/dp

can they be on your car at all times (daily driving) or are they strictly for track cars?

They are worth every penny. I have had them on my hybrid hatch for 2 months now without the slighest problem. I took the car to a road course and they dramatically improved the stability and solid feel of the car. Also, there are no signifigant clearance problems with a lowered car (mines a 2" drop) except you will have to cut slots in the plastic splash sheild under the front of the car. Not too bid a deal.
