hey guys the part your manual rack and lower front comtrol arms bolt to, is it called the rear front crosmember? is there a lighter and smaller aftermarket replacement for this piece, 92-95 civic coupe.

thanks in advance

 

its just called the rear crossmember. and no, nobody makes one.

 

I have seen one from Polk Racing for the DSM guys. My car had one but I gave it Shep.

 

It wouldn't be that hard to build, but it's not legal for anything other than PFWD.

 

we mfg them a while back at climax racing (old shop) i dont know what happened to the jigs, but i still have one for a dc2 and crx i current use on my street car it is about a 75 lb difference in over all weight... handles and works great.

 

The oem one doesn't weigh anywhere near 75lbs, how do you save 75lbs?

 

manaul rack x member for 92/95 weights 45 lb's it' fits up to 2000 si

 

lol

the stock k member, lower control arms, rear mount, sway bar would have to be removed in order for our k member kit to work to its full wieght savings.

our total wieght from the tubular k member, built in mount, and lower control arms(our design stolen from us from moroso)!! and traction bar...wieghed in at if im not mistaken 55lbs. do the math

 

Well luckily Moroso produced the control arms that have claimed some cars and not you guys!

 

My chassis guy mock-up one and built one for me, it is ligth and it came out go.

thats funny i edit my posts, i didnt want to call them out on it, but if they did there homework and engineering in them they would have never broke, i took a look at joes car at vegas when it happened to him, and i know it wouldve never did that on ours,.... the just took them and stole the idea essentially. bad craftsmanship on there part... but they did make money on them, and we didnt... im just hating...

maybe you missed this one......
you should read through the posts j, and not jump to conclusions

 

I guess your right..............I was just pointing out the FACT that you said they stole your design of a tubular control arm.
I just found that to be humorous.
It just seems like a Bold claim.
But hey, my design for Post-It notes was stolen also................I know how you feel.
