Is a Benen cross member bar the same as a lower tie bar?
First off I know what a cross member is but does Benen sell a cross member brace or an upgraded cross member? Or is it the same as a lower tie bar?
the pic from Benen:

it mounts in you engine bay, directly in front of the steering column... get that bar and a front lower tie bar, and afront strut bar... your steering response will be 100%better

i have a power steering rack and it was a really close fit, like 1mm... and i had to disconnect the mounting bracket for a p.s. hardline that uses the same hole in the chasis that the crossmember bar does. but im not having any problems w/ it after it was installed. its a pain in the *** to manuever the bar into where it is susposed to be mounted but i had the cusco front lower bar on already so that made it alittle tougher. just give yourself an hour, it'll definately fit, it just takes some patience b/c theres alot of **** in that area of the car.

no, it is not the same. It is an "upgraded cross member."
so then the original bar is removed and replace with the benen bar.....correct?

can the stock 94-01 integra cross member fit 92-95 hatch with a b series motor and stock motor?cuz it looks like the bar will hit the shift link age.

eg6si: Are the integra bars beefie bars? Is one from an ITR better/thicker/stronger than one from a gs or gsr? or are they all the same?
TeamUntouchableRacing: check this out....don't know if you have one of these already but you seem to be "bar" crazy like me. Its called a C-pillar bar from J's racing.
here is a pic of it installed on an integra:
