Default Place Racing crossmember owners. I have a question...

Do you have any problems with this thing? I wanna buy it, but I don't want the damn thing to be a weak piece of crap, and crack or bend. Give me some input here fellas.

Thanks,
Dan

I have one and it works fine. I hammered my old crossmember to fit my itr header and handling feels wobly at high speed. This not only fixed the problem but gave me more room for my header. I'll give it a 7 from a scale of 1 to 10 for good value for your money.

No problems with mine. Place redesigned it about a year and a half ago. Made it much stronger than their first model.

ive had no problems w/ mine, just bought it to clear up some room and to fit my half size koyo. feels a little better than stock, especially w/ urathane radius rod bushings. it was worth the money although im sure ill get a z10 later down the road.

if you are keeping the stock radiator, you cant beat the jimfab in price, quality, or performance.

Place Racing's customer service sucks, period. Their employees seem to have little knowledge of their own products. JimFab is only 50% higher in price.

Make sure that the radius rods are tight. Happend to me before and fixed it after re-tightening all the bolts.
