My bro and I were having a dispute over the Z10 radius arms... They are mostly for drag racing right? Do these hinder/hurt turning or driveability? Thanks.

Heres a pic

From what I understand them to be, they do not hinder your turning radius; they eliminate wheel hop and help assist you with a better launch. They don't recommend that you use them for everyday street use, but i've never talked to a person that HAS used them that has said it hindered their everyday driving ability. i'm guessing they're not recommending street usage on them because they don't wanna make it seem like they're encouraging street racing.
Personally, after what i've read about radius arms, IMO I would go with jimfab over the z10 bars(although i know thats not your question).

 

my question should've been about radius arms as a whole. Thanks guys... Yeah, I heard about Jimfab but couldn't find anywhere to get more info on them. ANyone with the jimfab radius arms on a daily driven ef: how are they in your opinion?

i've got some on my rex, and i love em. didn't negatively affect my turning or everyday driveability. However i think the jim fab is a better deal at 200 bucks less than the z10's....all in all,if i would do it over again, i wouldn't buy either, i'd just make one at my work

they are not crap-expensive but not crap-the 88-91 z 10 arms are the best ones he makes.the later generations supposedly have a problem with keeping the geometry of the arms into working properely.the z10 for our cars gives us lots of room for bigger headers or turbo.i have a few pics of mine if you wan to see them.but i do agree jimfab is def easoer on the wallet.

Sure buddy, tell me why there crap.

 

Please read the other Jimfab post and you will understand the geometry.

 

I think that maybe YOU should go back and read the other Jimfab post. Those diagrams are for the newer Civic Z10 crossmembers. Both the Z10, MMR, Jimfab, etc. radius arm kits have the exact same geometry as the stock radius arms.
Thats a fact.

 

Thanks

 

Thanks Rio , I wasnt going to start a flame war so I just left it alone when he posted that. But you took the words rightout of my mouth.

 

its all good I know Im dumb and shouldnt post anymore, I was just missinformed and now I just wont be posting much anymore. Thanks for clearing things up though.

 

Hey man dont knock yourself, you just didnt have all the info. I just didnt want to start a argument. Its just when you say a product is crap, and new people see you have like 3000+ posts, they will beleive you .

 

YI have yet to put my Z10's on the car but I will say they are absolutely beautiful and have excellent fabrication. Top shelf.

 

Sorry, I will edit my post, and research before I make any more nonsense post. I dont want to through ppl on the wrong track or give out any wrong information. Where all here to learn and get help. I just want to make sure ppl know what they are getting. Looks like I need to read up more before I start spouting 'crap' off myself.
