Who makes a good but fair priced traction bar setup for B18C Swapped 88-91 CRX?

 

All of the ones i know of are pricey.

Z10
Jimfab
Full Race
etc.



I always say you get what you pay for.

 

I just put a jimfab on my car.... I can say besides the swap itself, its the best modifycation that I have done to my car, right next to installing bigger ground wires... They were the 2 most noticeable mods that I have done. (besides the swap, lol) I would really recomend the jimfab. It cant be beat for the price, my wheel hop is all but gone and the front end feels so much more stable at any speed and handling has gotten better too.... Its definetly worth the $.

Don't waste the money on the z10 bars. Incorrect geometry for the supports.

You can always make your own :thumbsup:

 

There's also the lcon:

I hear Jimfab or Fullrace are the only way to go if you're going to spend money on a traction bar that actually works.

 

Lakewood Titanium bars are only $300 right now through lightning motorsports. Best deal on the planet. Plus Lakewodd has been in the traction bar biz for years, they know what there doing.

 

Full-race
Lcon
Jimfab
Z10
...........and some others.

I'll probably get full-race, but that's just me.

 

I have a jimfab, and I give it a

 

can traction bars affect daily driving at all? would it make the front crazily stiff or is it virtually unnoticable in the comfort area?

 

unnoticable to me, but it helps in aggressive driving

 

what about handling, would/did it cause more understeer?

Theres has been serious debate on that topic in the RR/AutoX forum. No one has come up with solid answers. However i did like how the front end seemed stiffer and tighter though the steering wheel. Probably due to less slop. idk.

 

if i got a real stiff rear end (aftermarket sway bar, strut/tie bar, stiff springs,etc) would it even it out good.

 

z10 fixed there problem with their bar. I have a full race bar and I like it alot.

z10s problem was for the Eg/Dc chassis anyway. It real hard to **** up a bar for the EF.

 

Avid Racing

 

^^^any good^^^
anyone tried this bar...im probally gonna get one this summer.i will probally get the full race but wouldnt mind not having to spend 450bucks

 

also anyone tried this Darkstar racing one...looks very similar to the jimfab...

 

If you are looking for a good price, great product that has good clearance the L-Con is the definite choice....plus their customer service is incredible. I believe there is a sponsor giving a deal on them now, check the forum.

What are the stuff you have to remove in order to install a new traction bar?

 

Has anyone tried the avid one? A local shop is selling one here for a good deal...$225 i was thinking about getting it, but do you think it's worth it?

You just need to remove the front crossmember and the radius rods.

 

i highly recommend Full-Race. Theyre $$$ but quality. You gotta pay to play.

also if you ever wanna run a jdm style 4-2-1 header you have a good chance of running into clearance problems with the other bars.

Full-Race bars offer more clearance than any other on the market. Its pretty much 100% clearance cause its about flush with the radiator...
