It's more then ok for street use. In fact, it seems to be mostly street cars that buy them simply because us fwd hondas need all the help we can get on the street.

Your car is not going to rattle to pieces. What do you think the traction bars do? It prob says not recommended for street use for a liablity issue on his part. It is like aftermarket Hid's bulbs, or neon lights which says for off road use only.(sorry the only examples I can think of this morning). I daily drive with mine on all the time have yet to have a problem. No maybe if you hit a big pot hole or something catches them you could cause some under body damage but that is all I can think of.

that is a statement made, to pass the liability to the consumer. in order words, if the bar breaks, you get killed, you kill someone, or you cause damage to property, you'll be sued because not the manufacturer!
