Does anybody know if a JDM crx crossmember is the same one as the USDM? ive been searching for the last couple of hours and found nothing... i was gonna purchase the innovative front crossmember but i dont know if it will fit my RHD crx... any help is greatly apreciated...
thanks

 

yeah they should be the same... its the same type of frame

 

Depends..
A ee8 or ee9 has a different front crossmember than a ed9 or ed7.
I'm guessing this is true for a real ef8 or ef9 also (not talking about swapped/converted ed's). So if the car came stock with a B16a(1) it should have a different crossmember.

 

From what I hear, on the JDM/Euro EF's...

Purchase a traction bar system like ours, that attatches to the tow hooks and the first bolt underneath. Others will use the hole further down from below which is not the same on the JDM/Euro EF chassis. We have sold quite a few over seas, no issues. -John ESP

 

the jdm ef9 civic sir w/b16 crossmember is different than the usdm civics by alot
the bolt pattern is completely different under the "frame rails" the thickness of the frame rails are thicker on the ef9 vs the usdm and the actual width of the crossmembver is different. i made a traction bar setup for my ef9 pm me if interested

 

thanks guys for the info...saved me some money... i looked underneath the car and found the bolt pattern diffrent on my car then the usdm one heres a pic of how they look

Read the last page of this thread. Someone driving a ee8 asks basically the same question. There they say to use a DA Integra bar. ANd this has been told to me on a Dutch forum too. Just don't get a normal one that is advertised for a "ef" because they will not fit a real ef8/9 or ee8/9. Can't tell about that esp item. But I would not dare to try it out to be honest.
Hopes that answers your questions.

 

A Traction Bar System such as ours pictured below will work with JDM EF SIR B16 RHD. Like I mentioned first bolt underneath and tow hooks is the key.

We have a Front Torque Mount Kit for the Cable B that is proprietary to the JDM/Euro EF SIR B16 RHD chassis.

 

Sorry to bring this back up, but are there any other options available now?

Look like the v3 ETD EF traction bar also bolts to the first crossmember bolt:

So, can these be used on JDM EF8/EDM EE8 crx?
Or do we still need the 90-93 integra model?
