Re: HMT= Home Made Traction bars (CSaddict style)Now with test drive results!
The only thing is that those hiems will start to rattle soon. Those hiems dont look like they have a lot of miss alignement and that will cause them to bind and fail. If you made the tabs on the main cross tube vertical and used poly bushings and a cromoly hiem on the other end. is there a way to have two tabs off of the control arms to make it stronger? The setup looks good. I just think that it would suck to have something break going down the freeway.

The Civic/Integra 92-00/94-01 are not sturctural for the vehicle to operate. The just add rigidity. If you had one wear out or even break there would be no adverse effect minus the unit not working as well. Its different for a CRX,EF,DA where the traction bar takes the place of the crossmember and if it fails you have an issue. I have seen Lakewood(G-sport) bars and they are the same as what I make. They work fine and the truth is that if you wear out a heim they are easily had or upgraded.

You bought up this old *** thread to say if anyone uses this design they are a idiot. You are a ------- idiot dumb ----. Where is your writeups for anything? I bet you were googling how to make your own traction bars and you seen a thread on HMT. Your a member so yay! You get to post. But yeah 2 year old thread you bought up to say it was gay? I vote ban.
