Default JIM FAB traction bars in h22 eg civic?

I no I have asked this a couple of times but this is because I am very close to purchasing them and I still have not yet got an answer yet. I have heard that the Jim Fab bars fit into a 92-95 civic with h22 swap, then I have heard they don't fit. Now I am really confused. I have tried messaging Jim Fab and got no response. So if anyone, has heard anything please post info. And if you have pics even better!!! thanks I really don't want to be a guinea pig.

They don't, not with a H22 in an EG or DC chassis, which is why I sold my set.

We have been using the Competition Engineering traction system with the tubular control arms for almost a year now.
H22/turbo with hasport mounts

Either that or the ones made by Totem works well..

I too emailed Jimfab with no response many times..

Not yet. I am waiting till next year when the car is repainted to do any more additions. But trust that will be one of the first to be done..

What makes it so the Jim Fab bars do not fit? Does hit bind against the motor or transmission?

did Z10 finish their H22 oil pan yet? Maybe that will let us use the jimfabs. I have not installed my engine yet... still building it, but I planned on just modifying my oil pan to fit unless its very severe. I was assuming that its not too bad and I could just cut and weld my oil pan a little. Maybe... it all depends gotta see it with my own eyes.

comp engineering has a poor design (my opinion), I no comp has been making suspension products for YEARS, but never really with a front wheel drive car. The reason I don't like the comps is you can't daily drive with them because they always keep your suspension in full lock. Making it dangerous to drive. The comp bars are good for drag racing, but for daily driving. I don't like the idea. Basic geometry of all the bars have the ups/downs.
-z10
-lakewood
-jim fab
-comp engineering
-totem
But it geometry and my opinion the JIM Fab bars seem to have the best idea. So I have decided to take the hit for the team and get the jim fabs and test fit them on my car. In reality the totem bars are essentialy the same thing except the craftsmanship of the bar doesn't compare. I still don't sell how they can't fit because they mount to the lower front control arm, which has a bit of room to play with. So I guess I will find out for my self if the bars fit or don't fit in about 7-14 days. I'll keep you guys informed!
