EF/CRX control arm mounts.
Well I was using a 1 bolt mounting system on my CRX but I really didn't feel safe. I figured Honda used 2 so I should too. This is a quick attemp that I test fit in the car. Seems to fit well. I am going to make one for the other side too. Sucks that these are so important and have to be so strong. EG/EK/DC are not an issue but the EF and CRX are important and if they broke I could see disaster. What are your thoughts?

Re: EF/CRX control arm mounts.
Looks really good. I have some bars that only use one hole and Ive had problems with them over the last year. One day I snapped a heim joint and it sent my wheel right into my fender and busted it all up. And that was only at 30-35mph, If it happened on the highway it could have been real bad. So for next season I purchased some jimfab bars because of the way there radious bars mount with two holes and only one heim joint.

try something like this one i made for my setup. i stole the idea from the z10 traction bar setups. less work to make probably.

Re: EF/CRX control arm mounts.
My thoughts are that your fab looks shitty - take a close look at how much weld you have and the stress forces + angle of the forces on the weld. Dainty, to say the least. I wouldn't trust it on a 58 hp HF.
On ED chassis which require radius rods, one of those puppies breaks at parking lot speeds you're gonna fold the LCA mount on the rear crossmember. Higher speeds = eeek! Weir's right - at least take a look at the z10 unit. |

dainty? hahaha
i dont forsee that breaking anytime soon, quick, load more weld on that bitch with the mig dave, the snottier the better! :P looks good to me dave. |
Re: EF/CRX control arm mounts.
I use 1 bolt, I have a 1" DOM Material with 2 tabs mounted on them. Haven't had any poblems yet, except that guys have been saying they are too bulky and hard to install. I'm looking for a newer lower profile design. What is the thickness of that? Looks 3/8 to 1/2"?

Weir's right - at least take a look at the z10 unit. The main bar is 1"x1/2" and the extensions are 1/4" welded pretty deep in. Aaron's design is nice and looks strong but not adjustable on the car. So adjusting at the track would be difficult. |
