Which Crossmember To Get ???
Ok before I start yes I've search but didn't find what I was looking for. Anyways my setup is JDM B16 running stock right now but got some JDM ITR header that I'm gonna install but i've been reading that it wont clear the stock crossmember. Now I also went to the jimfab website and it says that there is a fitment issue. I was also leaning towards the full-race but then it says that the stock or 1/2 sized radiator must be angled back for hood clearance which I dont want. So what do you guys think.

thats what i was using when i was all motor and i'm also using the same setup now that its boosted. I was using a DC header at the time, you will have plenty of room. here's an old pic:

I hear different things from people and read on the jimfab website that there are fitment issues with the jdm itr header. would you happen to know anything about it ?

Depends on what you REALLY want.
If you just want something that will give you more clearance and can accommodate a half size radiator when you need it (without cutting the hood) then I would get the "Innovative Crossmember" Camp1320 sells them as well as password.
The pix above show traction bars, which are different from a standard crossmember. These dont use bushings where the radius rod connects to the crossmember. These help in improving traction, 60ft times, wheel hop, etc... BUT IMO after taking a drive in my friends CRX they also create a harsh ride. Which makes sense seeing that your no longer using bushings.
So it depends what you really want. You can also improve the Innovative Crossmember by getting stiffer bushings. Just make sure you use silicone grease.

FWIW, I noticed no additional "harshness" after the install.

this has already been discussed...
the bushing location and the bushing itself is a poor design. the minimal "harshness" felt > sloppy caster
i feel safe on the highway now.
