Default What is this and where can i get one?

sorry if this is in the wrong forum. i thoguht this would be the best place since it is sorta suspension related.

Anyways im kinda new to hondas im on my 2nd one so far. my first was a 88 dx hatch and now i have a 89 si ls vtec hatch. on my first hatch i had one of these bars break at a low speed and didnt like it. now with this one im jsut scared of having that happen again.

i saw this in another forum and wanted to knwo what it is and where can i get one?

Full-Race has one for "Honda CRX/Civic ('88-91) ".

might wanna check those out. theres a debate floating around debating Full-Race and L-Con traction bars. see if you can find it and maybe it'll help you.
