Default Full Race crossmember VS Jimfab.

I was looking at jimfab but it dosent look like it will give me enough clearance.

I found one here at fullrace http://www.full-race.com/crx_traction_bars.html

Its 100$ more but it would clear ANYTHING, it mounts right where the tow hooks go so it sits basically right under the rad, so if it clears the rad it clears the crossmember.

ANyone running one of these things, what do you like/dislike about it.

Thanks!

im t hinking about a fullrace. I have a huge header and i cut out over 3/4 of my crossmember and welded up the hole. Its still plenty strong. But... I dont know if i still trust it.

Jimfab wouldnt clear, full race seems like it would since it mounts to the tow hooks and just has the one bar on each side that bolts into the existing holes.

Thanks for the comments.

FYI:APEX CRX I have read that thread before. I always search and im not concerned about comparing anything but Fullrace and Jimfab. Not ebay specials or Place racing or anything else. Thanks anyway.

Actually if you did read it then you would know that the entire post was pretty much about the Full-Race bars and not the Ebay bars.

Read it once more since you did not get it.

Here is a cliff note, Full-Race is better designed, 10x stronger, and is capable of accepting the Full Rad or Half Rad.

And finally comparing is what your doing right now.

IMO, if you need the clearance and want the extra strength of the bars, i would go with the Full-Race Bars. But if you want something that is cheap yet effective, and that you dont need the clearance, go with the jim fabs. I had the jimfabs on my car before we designed our own. I didnt have any problems with it. but the Full-Race ones are just Perfect. i also like how easy it is to adjust the FR ones compared to the Jimfab ones. I know that this may sound bias coming from me, but i am just being honest.
