I like them but I live in Colorado anyway I could talk you into making a set for me for my civic? I have a 98 civic dx sedan and have already added the front strut bar, and have lowered it by adding coilovers but have been looking for cheap ways to upgrade the handling. I would be willing to pay shipping and I would pay you for the parts, and labor.

One bad thing about using this type of traction bar (dual heim joints per side) and no rear control arm - the OEM rubber bushings in the LCA's allow an unfixed LCA to move around like a flacid *****. I just swapped the entire front suspension between 2 EF's, and I know from experience that w/o ONE side of that radius bar being hardmounted (fixed, unmovable), the suspension will allow caster to change like Hotrex's sexual preferences. The honda EG suspension uses steel sleeves inside rubber bushings for the LCA, so it needs that 2nd section of the front LCA to keep the LCA from twisting. One definate side effect of that free-floating LCA is the sway bar will be twising the arms anytime it acts on the arms in a turn.

$140 is way reasonable. and if that wasn't reasonable enough for people they can make it themselves. Seriously I would pay $140 for that no problem. Make a side biz out of it. lol I'll rep it for you..
