Innovative front crossmember
anyone try this yet? i'm looking to clear up more space for a downpipe and came across this. But there's one problem i've run into. this is from Innovative's website:
http://www.innovativemounts.com/Prod...ductCode=59111
Replacement front crossmember. Designed to give more front clearance for an 88-91 civic or CRX. Clears all factory and aftermarket headers. Factory radiator may be used or 92-00 Civic half size radiator. Add Innovative Mounts radius rod bushing kit to transform into a traction control kit. Now Features a front mount point for 4 mount applications. Add optional front mount for hi-torque engines. Front mounts are available for B series engines or D series engines.

Innovative High mount design or Replacement front crossmember. Designed to give more front clearance for the 88-91 Civic/CRX. This crossmember fits 4-2-1, SMS style headers and clears factory headers. Does NOT fit JDM Type R headers or 4 into 1 headers. If using these headers refer to our replacement crossmember instead. The K-Series crossmember mounts the radiator on the drivers side. Tucks up very high for the maximum ground clearance. Significantly lighter than factory crossmember. Add Energy Suspension bushings to transform this crossmember into a traction controll kit, lower 60ft and 1/4 mile times. MUST run a 92-00 Civic radiator.

I'm PRETTY DAMN CERTAIN that it does work with a factory radiator, as the radiator lower mount points are attached TO the car, if not if you look at it, you can see two provisions on the sides where it might go once installed? I DO KNOW that you can add the lil adapter things they also sell to utilize the 92-00 half size radiator. Why wouldn't you get the full traction bar though instead of this? If you only need header clearance, then just modify the stock crossmember

Re: Innovative front crossmember
i don't need a traction bar, just clearance for how i plan on running my down pipe and intercooler piping. figure i'll have to cut too much off the front crossmember. and a traction bar with good ground clearance is a lil bit more than the crossmember
