l-con traction bar question
allright i just received my l-con traction bar for my EF hatchback and i dont think i got the right one or doesnt it matter?, i recieved a U bracket that cant be bolted to my car unless i bolt it to the strut bolt on the control arm, it has to go that direction instead of the stock radious arms which get bolt downwards and there is two bolts holding it, my question is will it make a difference bolting it to the strut bolt on the control arm, or does it need to be bolted to the stock bolts??? please help asap

Re: l-con traction bar question (Bryson)
Damn bryson you sure do talk a lot of ****. Do you feel better talking **** on a company that went out of there way to help their customers out becasue of a bad concept? Oh yeah i forgot, YOU probably NEVER made a mistake in your life and are perfect huh? You Dumbass!! think before you talk a bunch of ****. I was stoked that they called me and told me...I know most small companys would just not tell anyone and blame it on the user, but Louie went out of his way to find the problem and then fix it, then tell all of his customers that he would correct their bars. As customers we should be glad there are still guys like him around. You Fucken rookie!

WHOA!!! are you saying you guys changed your kit so instead of using the stock location for the radius rod you now have to use the damper fork bolt? You're moving it from a location that WAS mean to be connected to a radius rod end to one that WAS NOT meant to be connected to a radius rod end? is this only temporary until you guys can redesign another adapter that goes in the stock EF location or is this a permanent change? If this is a permanent change what caused you to change it? what reassurance do people have that the damper fork bolt wont fail?
You know I didn't really care for any of the **** talking against Lcon products, but what you just said about using the damp fork bolt sent up big red flag in my head. If it was a minor modification to a part of the car that wasn't important I wouldn't have cared. But we are talking about a part of the car that is very critical, where failure of this part could send the car out of control.

Yah, I was also talking about track use too, but an accident there wouldn't be as bad as say on the freeway. People are gonna use it on the street regardless of any "off road use only" disclaimer. The problem is somebody could get killed if this part fails on the street/highway. Not like when a body kit labeled "off road use only" was to fall off, where there is smaller chance of somebody getting hurt. At least you guys are working on a fix...but still, if I had to choose between the kit mounted to the stock radius rod and the damper fork, I'd choose the kit that has stock radius rod location.

There is no such thing as a CRX lcon traction bar setup.. You got ripped off.
