Default Traction Bars

OK so I was looking at makin some traction bars for my rex an when I took my tow hooks off an bolted my first plate in it is not straight up an down. Do you guys hammer in the frame a little to make it up an down or just make them with the plates tilted inward?

They look kinda like the competition engineering ones. I work at jeg's back in the fab shop so I figured why spend the money when I can just make them. I have made all the upper an lower strut bars, toe adjusters an some camber kits for the 6th gen accords.

Check out Speedwaymotors.com and you can get pretty much everything there for cheap like the threaded rod for the tension rods and heims joints for cheap and look professional. I bought my tubing for my 4 link and panhard and ran me like 60 bucks shipped. Already threaded with rh one side and lh on the other and knurled and a section for a wrench to adjust it.

Make sure that you radius rod angles stay correct, and seeing as you have an EF chassis that you brace to your factory locations.
