Default Place Racing Crossmember & ground clearance issue?


Just wondering if anyone has had any problems with the pR x-member hitting the ground.... My 91 si hatch is lowered approx 2" inchs at the most 2.5" inchs...

People using this x-member can u please post pictures of the front of your car showing the clearance of the x-member to the ground.

Thanks.

I have a Aftermarket front cross member with the bars connecting to the tie rods for added support, although its not PR it hangs low and it scrapes on lots of things, my car is probably lowered 2-2.5 in the front and i scrape on low speed bumps and all, it helps traction out alot but it still spins like hell with the b18 powering it

The bars should be connected to the LCA, if you hook them ot the Tie rods how do you steer?

I had to answer that one, it was too good to ignore.


Oh about the 2 O2 sensors on the SiR one is in fron of cat on manifold the second is just after the cat. I know because I am swapping from a SiR half cut, and have that portion of the exhaust system on it.
