Default Jim fab traction bars on back order

the jim fab traction bars are on back order right now, i was wondering if they are that much better than the z10's to make me wait it out, or should i just get the z10 bars???

any input??

Well, I am on the list (the top of the list I think since I've paid the money) and he contacts me with updates from what I hear the bars will be done VERY soon, and I think he said he had enough to clear his backorder + some. I would personally wait. the Z10's are not made to the quality his are made not are they desgned well. Hope this helps.

Later,

Sean C.

im pretty sure they are almost done and if you want a product that works, you will wait for the jimfab peice and not go the z-10 route.

Funny, I watched him make ours out of chromemoly. They look like the same ones in his kit. He also did our wheelie bars.

Jim and Mike laying out the wheelie bars. Icky the emu supervising the operation

The crx kit is 100 percent chromoly. I think on the 92-up civic and integra he might have changed the material on the radius arms to make the kit even lighter and they are not a load bearing peice so they dont have to be a solid peice of chromoly.

not right now. The reason they have kinda been on the back burner is to get all you guys on the waiting list for the crossmembers your product. Once they get caught up with all that stuff, I will try and spark some interest.

If you have them for a 88-91 civic your ok...they follow the stock arms so the geometry is ok on those models.

The best part is the emu loves the hum of the welder. When it was a baby, jim used to but him inside his front pouch on his jacket and it would fall asleep there and the welding kept him warm. Now he likes to fall asleep next any welding going on.
