What are the best traction bars for ef? Did a search and found some stuff but really wanna see what peoples opinions are.

 

I'm running the Jimfab and couldn't be happier. Z10 is nice, just too expensive.

 

I like jimfab for price/quality. If I were rich I would have the full race

Ryan

edit: i guess im rich, because I have the fullrace now

i have full race traction bars and im far from rich. I had z10 and I liked them as well.

Someone needs to design the full race style for a really good price. i know the full race is a good price for the quality but im cheap.

 

I just made my own, and some for other people, I made one similar to a full race.

 

I like any traction bar that makes it compatible w/ an eg radiator

 

Ya, I have to make one of those for someone.

 

FULL-RACE all the way! well Z10 is as good since the were designed by the same person

 

woohoo good thing i got a JF

 

Which traction bar is the one to get that enables the use of an eg radiator, comes w/ radius rods, and you dont have to lean the rad. back?..like the full race...

Lcon bars do that.

Good Day,

what about place racing?
does their crossmember count as a traction bar of sorts?
anyone used a PR piece?

 

ive got the PR on mine, i like it. Low as hell though if I hit anything thats what hits.

 

i rather hit a Xmember then a header or oilpan

ive got the same one, it works to get a eg radiator in there. when i get rich ill get the z10 and solve my wheel hop problems.

i like the full race bars the most, but they wont fit a eg radiator.

 

i have a fullrace bar, the only complaint is that the eg radiator wont fit unless you lean it back, instead of leaning it back i ghettotied it.





I wouldnt get the z10 it cost more than the fullrace and the guy that designed the full-race bars, is the same guy that designed the z10. The z10 design is like 5 years old, where the full-race is a new updated design using better materials and better engineering.

I would of got the jimfab but it was 375 and the full race i got for 415 shipped. I think Full-Race presents there products better, and i cant tell if its better than the jimfab because i do not own a jimfab but for 40 extra bucks it wasnt a big gamble. from what i can tell in the pics the full-race bar looks stronger and offers almost an extra 2 inches for header clearance, i could easily run a 4inch downpipe if i wanted to, Ive heard that the jim fab barely clears a jdm ITR header.

 

i'm in the market to get one so i'm gonna watch this thread

its a xmember that allows eg radiator use that someone asked about. and it was better than the stock, mines holding up quite well w/ my b18

It might be better than stock as far as clearace, and being able to fit a eg radiator, but your going to be up **** creek when you get in a front end collision,

ok, but didn't your full-race bar replace the factory crossmember?

 

yes, it did, and that full race bar is about 50 times stronger than that peice of **** place racing bar.

If that bar is anything like there shitty *** mounts, then i seriously hope you dont get in a wreck, i have snapped (2) place racing mounts, and there products are ****.

I might be on the full-race bandwagon, but there traction bar is the strongest bar that you can buy as of right now. Im sure somebody will make something to top them.

 

Ive got the Jimfab and i love it. It gives a shitload more clearance for downpipes and headers. It also did away with most of the wheel hop i was getting...which helped straight line acceleration alot. The thing that i like the most though is the fact that the whole front end is so much more responsive...especially in hard cornering.

Damn...Jimfab mustve gone up. I got mine about 2 years ago from Wil at Exospeed and i think it was somewhere in the $325 shipped range

 

anyone want to create links for each bar... or where to get them

also... why would you want an EJ radiator? they are half the size... which means half the cooling capacity... which means, bad!
