This works fine for adjustable bars, but what if you're like me and stuck with a modded x-member for now and need to add more caster? After my last alignment with DA integra spindles we noticed my caster was sitting at less than 2 degrees positive, and even the stock spec is supposed to sit closer to +4 degrees. I need to add more caster big time, the car likes to wander on the highway, but still turns in to a corner like a ****.

Step away from the car.

alright, not trying to threadjack but I have a similar question and don't want to start another thread for it:

I'm not worried about getting the absolute best performance out of the jk motorsport traction bars I'll be throwing on the crx. I'd rather keep pretty much stock settings and not be as abusive to the bushings. If I just pop it on and take it to a shop to get it aligned, are they going to be able to figure it out ?

They should because the EF's, ect had radius rods from the factory and they are part of the alignment process.

Just let them know how to adjust them and they should be fine.

And make sure you have the "2nd gen" hardware installed, or the traction bar will probably break and a few miles, and you will wreck your car.

I drive a 90 crx so am not worried about it, but curious anyway.

C'mon dude, like you never had to improvise on a situation? Once I go down to the bank to get my ------' money I'll probably splurge on a full-race bar, but for now this is how it sits. I never had these issues before I swapped on the DA pieces, but for me the turn in and cornering gained from them was worth it. Besides, it's more of an auto-x car, not a 1/4 mile straight line queen. :P

The 2nd gen parts have it so the bars attach to the lower control arms with two bolts instead of just one. They also have a different joint to attach them to the crossmember.
