INVEST IN A TRACTION BAR/X-MEMBER WITH ADJUSTABLE RADIUS RODS


ive seen people replace almost ever piece of suspension and still have bad caster..some peoples are pretty extreme...i lost control and hit a curb pretty hard on my right side

it noticably pushed my passanger side wheel back, i got an alignment and it always drove alright after that but the wheel just bothered me alot.

Well i was in the market for a header, i wanted the toda compition manifold really bad but it def wouldnt clear the stock x-member...so i put 2 and 2 together and ordered myself a Full-Race Traction Bar direct from Full-Race

After i installed the whole crossmember today it took me a matter of seconds to adjust my wheel back to center, i only eye'd it so ima need to get a pro. alignment but i thought this would be too good to be true, my dream came true today!!!

its not cheap, but my car handles beautifully now.

 

those are some hard-core traction bars man. i got some like that but it has the orignal crossmember and the radius rods are upgraded and u can adjust them and there are no rubber bushings where the rods bolt to the x-member. they came off of a drag hatch. they are coo but not as sick as the full-race ones. hey i know wut u mean by hitting a curb, went to hit a corner in my crx and slid on some gravel and ran into a guard rail and a curb. it bent the rear crossmember and broke the spot welds on it where the LCA bolts to. it was horrible, i put on a new crossmember and nothing was right after that so i sold it and bought another crx. it was horrible. i feel ya though.

 

Very nice.

How is it over bumps though? noisy?

so far so good, turning feels a whole lot tigher than before, i love the feeling of the suspension now.

but the fact is im paranoid about my alignment so i just drove it around the block and put it to bed for the night prolly.

Ive also got this knocking sound i hear over bumps that has developed over the past couple days, i heard it a few times before i swapped the crossmembers so im sure that wasnt the cause but i need to figure out what it is tomorrow.

 

(off topic)
where did you get that lip from?

 

passwordjdm, they have them only available for the ef8 and ef9 front ends. J's Racing makes one that identical but its made out of urethane or abs plastic i forgot.

 

the jdm bumper is a lil bit longer than usdm right?
and what is the web adress for j's racing?

 

pm'd you

I have had this same problem...Check your cv joints and your brake pads...lol...Yes I said brake pads cause when I heard knocking sounds I thought it was my suspension and it wasn't so I checked my cj joints and that was not it...So then my friends told me to check my brakes and sure enough it was...lol...

But then again I could be wrong!!!!

 

well it sounds just like my cv joints, i used to have REALLY blown axles...but those would pop when i would down shift or pop the clutch or something. Ive got Raxles now, so they BETTER not be blown.

this popping sound is only happening when i go over bumps, its insync with the bounce of the car, im pretty sure its something to do with my shock tower.

 

hmm i really need to look into one of those...i have waisted soo much money on this..mine is working fine now. I was driving on snow..and turned and coasted into the median at 20 MPH....bent the axle, lower control arm, and radius rod. i took the entire suspension from another car, and put it on..then cut the xmember to fit the 4-1 header...how much was that bar..i seriously want one know!!

okay i checked out the price..i can get another perfect shell with a blown motor around here for that price..ouch

 

yeah but dont you wanna ride on rails WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

man ima get some Tein SS dampers one day, **** i cant wait to rip into the corners with this combo

 

dunno man..i drive in a rural POS town with bumps and ****.. i have actually removed most of my suspension mods, and raised it back up..funny thing is...it still rides the same.?!?!?! just softer no bumps and no hitting my header on the ground....crazy o_0

 

yeah i like my full race bar too. Congrats on a good product. Now if only everyone would see the light...
