Charge pipe is not on in this pic but it cleared by several inches.

my that bar looks familiar.....

evosol, i put it on my car with radius arms attached for a while, it didnt helpa ton, so i decided that i also need poly lca bushings. so arms are off until i get the bushings. the crossmember is still on though, it actually made a noticable difference with handling.

Full-Race.

The bars are strong, and the geometry is correct. Can't go wrong with their setup. They even offer a special fit radiator for EFs to go along with their bars.

Sure thing man.

I just hate to see people buy these crap products because a lot of people on the forum jump right on them without thinking. The L-cons will work, but then again you get what you pay for.

I'm also running the Full-Race traction bars. Big difference they make.

Dude: you need to edit those pictures smaller.

interesting...the radius rods are in compression when a car is driven normally. in order for the heim to separate from the radius rod, the wheel must have been pushed back somehow creating tension between the components. even if the wheel is pushed/pulled back, a lot of force is required to strip a properly threaded 5/8 in. fastener. we even chase the radius rods with a tap prior to assembly to help prevent cross threading or binding when the heim/jam nut is trq'd. send us the damaged rods and we will replace them if you want

i got L-con bars on my car. and they fit great and work great too. the fit and finish on them is superb and the quality you can see.


a customer of mine got full-race bars. fits good. but they gave him the wrong bolts and cross threaded the nuts in the framerail for the EF. Full-race sent him a new set of bolts but that doesnt fix the stripped nuts he has to cut out and replace.
