Default Lakewood Traction Bars

I found these on the internet for like 279.00. Its says they fit 92-00 civics with no mods at all. I have been researching the traction bars recently and came up with that the JimFab bars do not work on the 99-00 Si cause of the control arms. Does anyone know if the Lakewood Traction Bars will work. Here is the link. http://www.mrgasket.com/maildi...D=468

They look like they would work with the 99-2000si because it looks like its just 1 tab that bolts to the lower fork bolt. The problem is see though is this is not correct geometry and would make for a possibly dangerous situation...the arms would be set out too far and straight. It might also tear away at the rubber in the lower control arm and be dangerous as well.

Ok so what should I do here. Hope that Jim Fab comes out with some or go ahead and get the Lakewoods. Any info you have is really helpful.

Well, take the info for what its worth. Jimfabs would be nice, but you would have to have a tab welded on. If you wont do that, get the lakewoods and run the risk of what I stated above.

Z10's have the wrong geometry also.
