Default Jim Fab traction bars not compatable with 2000 Si?

What exactly makes these traction bars not work on an Si? I want these bars since I have read that the Z10's are not as good. What should I do?

Thanks,
Craig

Imaginary traction bars are the best. Dropped my times almost as much as my imaginary nitrous


I would swap the arms for a set of DX arms as mentioned. You dont need sway bars anyways.

This might help you out. I made my own for my 2000 Si but Im willing to bet you could modify your jim fabs and weld tabs onto the arms to look like this...

We just gave Jim a 2000 si for fabrication and design. If bars can be made, Jim will figure it out. He has no excuses for not coming out with a bunch of new and cool si parts now, haha.

I think like it was stated above, the bars are pretty much ready to go except for the fact that you need to weld a tab on the lower arm. Other then that, they are the same. Jim doesnt like to put products out that arnt totaly bolt on so im not sure what he will come up with. But I know if you wanted a set of his bars, they will work with a simple tab welded to the lower arm.
