If you are not doing any racing with it, I'll say go for it. But then, if you are not doing any racing in your EF, why waste money on one.

Do you see what's wrong here? That's why you don't buy ebay parts.

word of advice. never buy a traction bar that doesnt have looped end pieces. buy full race and be done with it. etd is a piece of crap imo.

lol at that pic.

i personally have one on my crx and its holdin up pretty well..wit a 4" downpipe, you'll have more than enough room for it...one thing i will say is that the ebay bar does not come wit the lil bracket that etd offers..this bracket mounts the bar to one of the original holes that your stock traction bar use to be..this would help out alot as the movement of the wheels would put a lot of pressure on the mounting point. i actually welded the traction bar itself onto the chasis partially and i plan on reinforcing the bar in the future..im broke so thats wat i did...i do plan on buyin a full race though..it looks sexy and strong...^_-
