Get it. I have one and it's fine. I paid more then that also. I hate when you buy something and 6 months later it sells for 60 less. It's a good product and it goes right in. Also you get a front mount which I did not have and now I can put more power to the ground.

Just buy it. It is also good for the 4-1 jdm header. Pleanty of clearance.

if u read that ad there is 2 cross members one you need the arms and one u dont.

im just curious as to wether or not this is comparable to the jimfab bar.

i would like to have the extra mount though for added stiffyness.

I've had one for a year now and love it. Fit great and only took about 20 minutes to install. I don't run the front mount since I have a D16. With the Prothane inserts in the other 3 muonts, the motor barely moves at all.

BTW, I don't know what their talking about with the modified radius rods. My stock ones went right in.

Wow, I didn't know there are 2 different models (CM101 and Cm102). Place Racing really needs to get their site up. Anyone get the CM101 with the different radius rods? We're all interested to hear a review on that one compared to the JimFab and Z10 counterparts. Especially since the PRI one is so much cheaper.

BTW, thats sucks how that site ripped off the pic from JDMHondaParts.

Unless ha sport sent you the 4th mount you should not have that one. The mount comes with the Xmember and it fits fine.

The jimFab Xmember looks better but both are pretty much the same except for the pillow *****. Thats the only differance that I can tell. Does same thing and fuction is same OH yeah I just thought of another reason why they are different, look at the price tag, Place racing has a way better price.

I'm running the stock front crossmember, hasport mounts. Yeah with my B I notice lots of wheelhop. This cures it I know, gives more room, but which one should I buy?
Place Racing w/out the mount? I guess so. Do I need the radius arms too, or use the stockers.?

Alright, I called Place Racing yesterday...and they said that they have two crossmembers for EDs.

One is basically a stock replacement that has better clearance for a turbo/header, B-series front mount spot, and can support a EG radiator.

The second crossmember they have was designed for the their H22 swap kit. Hence the modified radius rods needed.

I suggest anyone that plans on buying the second one, call Place Racing first to verify what you are getting.

Place racing, because it's light weight and comes with the front mount no extra cost.

So is it worth getting something like that for a D16? I am swapping out my DX motor for an Si motor and was thinking to get it since I will have the car ripped apart anyway so I was just curious if it would be worth it for me?
