Default Question regarding traction bars?

I have seen many of you guys make some really nice traction bar setups.I was wondering if any of you guys have welded the lower rad supports onto the traction bars?I have a full race set that doesnt allow me to use the lower radiator supports with the bushings in them and I just was wondering if anyone in here had the same problem.I am also looking fpor something to replace them with and maybe retain the bushings somehow.Thanks for the help

Start search for company's that make traction bars for Hondas, I know a place makes them with the option to have the rad support built in. I believe I found it while looking for K20 swap info. Good Luck!

ETD Racing FTW. I put one of these on a customers crx with the radiator brackets that mount on the bar, it made things allot easier.

I am going to order them today but I was wondering why in every pic I see the mounts no one seems to be using the cnc'd part of the kit?Evryone seems to just use the flat bracket with teh ubolt and two nuts.

i wound up using the cnc bracket on one side, not on the other side, but that was so i could angle rad a lil to clear headlight, i could prob have done it without the cnc piece though, so idk if it was worth the extra $$$

Its only a 10 dollar difference so I can care less.The radiator has destroyed my rad support so ten dollars is worth it in my book.Thanks for all the help guys
