Thinking about buying this one.

http://full-race.com/store/pro...id=77

Looks very good

Although Im concerned of how would you jack up your car evenly
with a aftermarket crossmember? Anyone know?

I believe Jacking up your car with a full-race / jim fab is not recommended?

Anyone with one of these crossmembers, how do you jack up your car
in the front??

I jack mine up by the x-member (jimfab). It doesn't seem to mind in the least. That and it is really easy to see where your jack is under it from the top

Just jack it up from the center point in the front then jack stand the sides. Isn't that what everyone does?

shitty crossmember ownz you.

The place racing doesnt do anything for traction, the sole purpose of the place racing bar is to provide header clearance and to mount a 92 style radiator, thats it.


If you want a functional peice id go with the full race, its a better design than the jim fab, and its cheaper than the z10
