So im thinking of getting one not for the actual purpose of traction but to let downpipes clear. Has anyone actually owned an ebay one? Ive read about 15-20 threads about them but i dont get any good feedback about them being crappy.these are the ones im looking at now.

Well they only have a 3 day return policy, so if it breaks you're screwed. 'Light steel' doesn't inspire confidence either. I would look for a reputable one used, or just spend a little more. This isn't a part you want to fail on the street. I've been using the Full Race bar for about 70,000 miles and the moving parts need to be replaced soon. Expect that one to last half as long if you're lucky. JimFab, Innovative, ESP, and Full Race are the only ones I would consider.

 

Additionally, it looks like the ebay ones bolt into the tow hook ancor location, instead of the stock traction bar location.

 

There is no stock traction bar. You mean the crossmember? Yes, the ebay ones scare me too. The full race uses the crossmember and tow hook locations. OP, you should really research some more, don't be cheap on this part unless you never drive the car.

 

Dammit, Wilbur!!! I'm pretty sure I told you yesterday to stay off ebay! Fack!

ETD makes a bomb-diggity tb too! I'm running their latest revision.

 

I dont wanna pay 300 bucks damnit. I didnt notice.that it bolts to the tow hooks. That killed my interest. Ill look for a used one in the marketplace

 

Man, if you keep looking for cheap ways out, you'll never be done modding that sedan. Get the goods that will last, bro!

The ETD bar also utilizes the stock crossmember holes. If you buy one used, the possibility of the heim joints being bad is real, which will require you to spend more money. I'll be sending you a bill at the end of this month for my financial advice services.

 

Don't go cheap on a piece that is an integral part of the suspension up front. Just save up if you can't find a used one.

 

will you take payments of steak n skrimpz?

 

Found an innovative for 240 new

 

"Did juu say STEAK?!"

I just looked at that Innovative and I must say... no! It doesn't even come with adjustable radius rods, so you will have no way of making caster adjustments. I guess they expect you to use your stock rods and give you the option of buying their rod bushings? For not much more, you can have this:

u need to have a cookout damnit, ill bring steak kabobs. Do you have the etd? if so i wanna see how it all meshes together because i also want a half sized radiator.

 

I run an older model ETD and i havent really had any problems with them... Half rad was a pain in the *** to fit with some custom adjustments but i think thats been fixed now since i bought mine like 4 years ago

 

If you are going to go the eBay cheap route it is really hit or miss. If you're willing to risk it being a piece of junk but save the money then go for it.

 

Yes and yes! Don't worry with buying their radiator mounts. Make your own.

 

Manny said it all right here. Cheap will leave you hurt or dead.

do not buy the Innovative front crossmember. i repeat, do not buy the Innovative front crossmember

 

Explanation?

 

i bought it and asked questions later. i ended up returning it for the traction bar. has really bad ground clearance

 

damn thanks BLU havnt seen your name in a while since i dont post on vadriven anymore. ill just start saving and when i hit 400 bucks ill just pick from there.

 

I have the innovative mounts one, replaces the stock cross member
doesn't hang too low and is effective
Check sig

 

yea see yours does not look low at all. install error maybe with the fubar one?

 

the ones in your link are supplents, they do not replace your current cross membber. So you will still have the clearence issues
