Default Need to make header fit, TRACTION BAR?

i'm doing a built lsv swap into my 90hatch.

trying to buy a nice header in the $500-$600 range, and they all say that they will not fit ef chassis with factory crossmember

can i use the traction bar setup for the k-swaps. or do i need a motor mount there also???

i'm confused

There are TONS of choices here as far as traction bars. I personally like the Innovative crossmember since it uses the stock radius rods rather than Heim joints. It will give you enough room for ANY header you might want to use.

i would do a full race traction bar if thats what you want. but i would not spend 600 on a header,then you don't need the traction bar. i mean unless you don't think you can get 8 horsepower more from the like 400 to much your spending on the header.get your self some cams, nitrous kit, maybe a lightened flywheel, just my 2 cents oh and i would avoid ebay for any suspension parts period!!!!

ETD traction bars are only 275.00 shipped on ebay and I love them! My brother runs them on his 400whp turbo eg, and I run them on my 350whp crx. It's been going on 2 years now and never had a problem.. Look them up on ebay thay have there own race cars with the same traction bars.
