What year is your Civic?

However I do not see a problem with either the class 1 or the class 3 units as neither one comes close to where the brace is. 94

What the hell are you planning to tow with an ED hatch?

Unless it's JDM, then I take it back LOL. Seriously though LOL what's the towing capacity on something like that. I'd NEVER tow with mine.

It doesn't look like it would fit well to me. It has to bolt through the subframe that the ASR brace sits in front of. https://www.curtmfg.com/masterlibrar..._11590_INS.PDF shows install, it also may not clear an aftermarket muffler.

Defiantly not that one, it is not one of the two I found, now I cant find them again.

Do what I did, have a shop weld a receiver, whatever size you want to the bumper beam, I have my receiver behind my licence plate, so nothing hanging under the car or showing unless my trailer is connected, I also use it for tires and tool box for autocross, [and yard waste] even towed my Yamaha Grizzly quad with it, works great. 94

Other things like bike racks and cargo boxes use hitches too, not just for towing stuff
