Default Do these traction bars/crossmember for ef look any good???

ok i saw these two on ebay the first is a set of traction bars......im going to be runnging a ek half size radiator with my turbo sohc, now it dosent have a place for a front mount would it be find if i window welded the back mount and put polyinserts in the side mounts or should i weld on a front bracket for the mount. if i got this i would weld on my own tabs for the ek radiator to sit a little lower so it can clear the hood.

the second thing replaces the front crossmember and is made to fit a half size radiator i just wanted to see if anyone has this and to see where the rad. sits, on this one you can get them with the front bracket.

Out of those 2 i would get the second one with poly. bushings in there. I wouldnt trust those traction bars. Just get it then Test fit the 92-00 radiator in there. Supposedly it comes with a top radiator bracket too??? Good luck

About the first one, those brackets look pretty small ( thickness of them )

To hard to tell with out seeing the welds and what not.

DO NOT SKIMP ON A PRODUCT LIKE THIS

Ask them what kind of rod ends ( heim joints ) they use.
