That crossmeber looks like a total rip of the jim fab... And I would recommend a jim fab because that is what I have and they work excellent. Jim also has great customer service.

i have a place racing... and im waiting on this ^ one to come out and i will buy it
the place racing one doenst really do anything for performance, it just allows for a 92-95 civic radiator and extra clearance

I have yet to see someone with a JDM 4 into 1 header post and confirm clearance. I would also like to see pictures. Right now Im running a JDM ITR engine with its own Hydro tranny ( HaSport cable to Hydro kit ).
I had to make cut, bend, and pound the heck out of the stock crossmember to clear the JDM header and the "skid plate" it comes with.
I had to cut the skid plate a little short in length to clear my CUSCO lower Tie bar.
It would be great to confirm if the JimFab clears the JDM header.

Re: Which crossmember should i get? (peichie)
the full race strip bars for the ef will be released within the next month or so. the design is finished and the prototype is fabbed up, i will get some pictures of it as soon as possible.
also, the bars allow for plenty of room for any type of header, or downpipe while maintaining the rigidity needed to put your hp to the ground and keep it there.

the full race strip bars for the ef will have heim joints at both ends of the radius rod, making it much much easier to adjust. if you look at the picture at the top of the thread, you have to take off the radius rod from either the lower control arm or the crossmember to adjust the rod. you wont have to do that with the full race xmember. just a simple twist of the locking nuts on each end, and turn the rod to whatever length you need, making it easy to pre-load the suspension.

Sounds great..but wont that throw your toe off? Requiring an alignment every time you play with them?
