i was wondering if any has used or any experience with the mb traction bar and how they compared to like z-10 or jim fab i hear lot of pro drag car use the mb is this true here is the pic i found of the mb what you guys think for a turbo street and strip car

 

Is it designed to not bind up? And can it fit Si LCA's? If yes to both of those, I want them!

 

im a dealer for them but i just wanted some opions before i tried on my customers cars

 

I have a MB products crossmember on my 92 Integra. They do not offer the front motor mount. So I had to have one welded on. You have to unbolt the radius rods to make adjustments which is ok for a track car but for a street car it sucks. The mounting holes had to be drilled out to fit correctly.
I will get a JimFab if they ever make one for my DB2.

 

man thanks i have a 00 civic hatch and i was leaning toward the jimfab but i thought i would ask and see what the h-ters opions were because i am a dealer for them

 

lakewood now also makes traction bars for i believe 92-00 civics, 94-01 integras. do you know of anyone using them? they offer them in steel and titanium

 

DA application for the Jimfab is in the idea phase right now. once we have confirmation the design is set, we'll have them on our website and let HT know.

I know Ryan... I wish it was sooner, hopefully the design won't be as low as the other type of Bars for the DA. this one wont bottom out like the other one.

 

Do you have any idea of a rough timeline? I was about to start making my own but I will wait if these are close. Thanks for your help.

I've had both the MB and the Jimfab for my car and the Jimfab is much better quality in my opinion. Brian

whats "the darkness rocks" have to do with traction bars?

 

i was just gonna say that, wtf

 

they just rock...absolutely nothing to do with traction bars except that they will rock your socks off!

 

Be prepared to do some intercooler piping and radiator support modifications to get the Jimfabs to fit in with everything else. There's no such thing as bolt-on. Just my .02 from experience.

 

yea MB cross member is the **** i like all the welds and the work very good work they did my whole car

Me too, lets see some love for the DA. Z10 sounds like they might beat jimfab to the punch.

 

I hear a prominent manifold manufacturer here on HT also has a great set of traction bars with the proper geometry.

 

what about darkstar racing traction bar? http://www.mmrusa.com/dsrcrossmember.htm
