You know that LSD has great customer service. I would go with the LSD due to their reputation.

don't know how handy you are but there was a write up on HMT on how to make your own....that's what i'm going to try....and on a side note did any one make on for a early 90's hatch yet?(would have called it a ef.....but didn't want to catch ---- from the chassis *****.. ).....i know there was talk of it, just never saw or heard anything after that

the ones on mikes site are jk motorsport traction bars, and from what ive heard they are better than full race, plus less expensive, jk and mike are part of hmt, and mikes cust svc is unbelieveable!! so it should be an easy choice

In what aspect would they be "better" than full-race. I've heard nothing but good about the Jk bars from Mike, that statement just didn't make sense to me.

I'm still partial to the old LCon bars that I used to sell. Round chromoly tubing, powdercoated with aluminum radius rods and chromoly heim joints, but Mikey Mike at LSD is a good friend, so you should buy from him.

Come on tell tell.I have some JK bars and they were a ealry production unit so they were a little rough as in the rad brackets were crooked etc.I think the newer ones are better and I would still recommend.That being said FullRace > JK that should be a given though as one cost twice as much as the other.

I talked to him yesterday. He's busy putting geeky computers into his acura RL. He claims he doesn't go on any forums anymore.
