Default 4-ponit front crosmember

ok guys i have a nrg front crossmember and i haev a jdm itr header.

now the nrg crossmember doenst fit. i know it doesnt fit because the tubes sit on top of each other.

i heard someone put new energy suspension bushings in for the motor mount and then it fit?

now i dont know if this is right?

i was wondering if anyone of you guys have this on your cars?

what kind of headers your using?

i also wasnt sure if the rage tri y header will work with this bar?

also how does it handle witht that thing on?

You mean this? https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1936994

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by rukawa1one &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

NRG 2 point and 4 point ladder braces. Available EG/DC/EK. $75 free shipping

The 2pt. brace stiffens up the chassis by linking the tension arms or toe adjuster brackets of opposing sides. This is usually the place where a large amount of lateral load is transferred due to its proximity to the alignment arms and the tires themselves. By bracing this section of the chassis, a large amount of load can be transferred to a larger area, decreasing the stress to the chassis and its flex points under hard cornering, reducing overall body roll and increasing steering response, feel, and driver feedback.

The 4 pt. ladder H brace improves upon the design of the 2 point braces by further widening the load transfer area, usually also linking opposing sides of the chassis itself. This further increases the rigidity of the chassis beyond the capabilities of the 2 point system, increasing performance gains to another level.

eg hatch,

fitment was perfect, and it actually doesn't even scrape too often, even though my car is real low.

handling? Felt alil stiffer i guess. i've got front/r strut bars and swaybars too though, so it's basically just icing.

I think I noticed more control and better feedback from the front end. It's not so much about how WELL it handles, but rather how that handling feels. You'll also only notice any changes during really hard cornering.

still, for 40bux, why not?

i had one about 2 years ago. My car is pretty low, tucking all fours. If you're riding low, i don't think they are worth the money, due to the fact that it always scarped. Mine eventually got destroyed when it hit a manhole cover that protruded out of the ground by about 3 inches. I prob had about 2 1/2 in clearance from the ground. You MIGHT be able to feel the difference on hard cornering, but the hassle of worrying about hitting something was not worth the minimal gain in handling.

It fits with the JDM 4-1 ITR header, its just that u have to cut off the brackets for the heatshield that are near the area where the H brace will cross it. I have this setup on my car right now. Its a close fit but I have no H brace clearance issues after I cut off the brackets.
