HEy man I really don't know but my buddy that did the H22 swap into his 88 hatch

Was trying to get hold of them for the past 2 weeks to order there front crossmenber for the swap . But never could get them to answer the phone .

HE used to talk to the guy named jonnathan but the last time he talk to him was a mounth ago and he was talking about leaving and starting his own company doing wiring harnesses . And thats the only guy that answered the phone . Who know's

All i know is that there axles for the swap SUCK!!!!!

On 92 cars were the tow hooks are the frame is straight .

On 88 -91 the frame buy the tow hooks has a slight bump so all u have to do is
cut or grind on the bar itself so it can clear .

On our pro all motor car we have MB products trac bars for the 88-91 the bolt the same way buy also bolt were the stock front crossmenber bolted .

I like those alot better then the comp . but the comps are great too .

Hasport unfortunitly didn't offer mounts back when I did my swap, but I gotta admit these mounts work well and I haven't had any problems with them.
