I only want opinions from first hand experience please

I've been hearing both that they sucks and they are good so someone who actually owns or has owned one please fill me in, i don't care about ground clearance really....


Thanks

I had mine for a couple months, it would scrape all over. Then I was about to drive onto the freeway and I heard a loud noise. As I was going to merge, my steering got all sloppy and I heard a grinding noise. My alignment was so messed up I had to drive on the shoulder, get off the freeway, and slowly drive the car back home. Upon inspecting the car, I noticed that the crossmember had broken where the radius rod goes into. Too bad I didn't have a digicam back then or I would have taken pics of the broken piece. I went to Place Racing and they replaced it for free, I then sold it.

Yeah man, good thing it happened right when I got on the freeway. Although Place Racing claims that they have reinforced it since.

They said they did, I sold the new one to a fellow HT member and he had no problems with it, but then he sold it too. I am using the stock crossmember now, don't know if I should get another aftermarket one after that happened.

I bought it from a local place called "Autolink", but I believe http://www.jhpusa.com sells them too.

I haven't had any problems with mine. It has been on for over a year now. It has scraped before but i don't consider that problem.
