I have the same bar you just got blu, I'm not happy with it at all, it sits too low and like nick said, it flexes a bunch under hard braking and that creates an uncomfortable amount on squirreliness. It would be find for daily driving on a slightly lowered car but is a pain in the *** on a slammed one.

I agree with the guys above. Nick wasn't exaggerating when he wrote that is scrapes on everything....with "everything" in all caps. That bar hangs seriously low. I dreaded every minute that I had one on my CRX for about 2 weeks.

*sigh* i'll be calling their office here shortly to see if i can get this worked out. since i was buying the crossmember, thought it was going to sit as high as the crossmember

from looking at your car, i'm sure i'll have the same problem

Ask your EF buddies next time and ye shall receive. Here you can see how low it sits and the deflection of the wheel back into the wheel well.

Yea man, I like the innovative crossmember because of all the clearance and the radiator mounts for a half sized rad, but it hangs way too low. Had to raise my crx a lot and it still scrapes now and then.

I rarely roll with passengers, but even so they arent that obtrusive with the glove box open.

Installed... but have since removed the heat.

thats tight but how in the world are you going to know if your parking brake is up? or your hatch is open?

Few things worth noting..when I did my gauge set up my main goal was to be able to hide them when I wanted to. All I gotta do is close the glove box. I also made a harness for the glove box should I ever need to remove it (access to my relocated fuse box) I can simply unplug the harness connector and remove the glove box with all gauges intact, no muss no fuss.

The TunerViewer has 2 buttons that you can use to flip through the different "pages", up to 8 values per page! Also has a CEL notification and up to 4 inputs.
