Default Jim Fab traction bar and JDM ITR header...

I have searched and read mixed reviews and answers, but i need a for sure correct one.
Im wanting to get a traction bar, Del sol vtec radiator and JDM ITR header. Shopping for traction bars i think the JimFab is best for money and quality. Some people have said with the HCP mounts, the JDM ITR header will clear the traction bar.
Is this true?? I know on the JimFab website it says it wont clear them, but a few people have said that with the HCP mounts it will. Since they set the motor back a bit.
Looking for people with real experience with it....

pic for hits

i love my lcon traction bars, 6 months no problems. A few others have had problems though. Full race is another option, expensive but very nice

Yeah i would like a full-race but its just too expensive for me.
What problems have people had with there l-con? Doesnt it mount to the shock fork instead of the stock place?
Whats the ground clearence like?? Any pics?

No wipers........and you're from bama? Isn't that risky?

I have a jim-fab bar and an itr header in my crx with hasport mounts. It is very close. When I bolted it up the header was maybe 1.5 mm from the bar. after a little driving the mounts must have settled and now there is about 5 mm of room.
I can get you some pics next week when I get my car back.



Thats all I have for now you can see the header. Also it is a really tight fit just so you know.

i have hasport mounts too, and a jimfab bar, but when i tried to install the jdm itr header, it hit the bar. so it wouldnt work for me

its possible that the reason it works for b18c5rex and not me is that i have a b18c and he has a b16

Really? If u already have a traction bar...what makes the full-race so much better to go through all the trouble??
Just asking cause im "shopping" for one.
The full-race is nice but pretty pricey, guess i should just suck it up and pay it.

full-race is stronger, is easier to adjust, and provides more clearance.
