I'm so tempted to try this ----. I just don't have the experience or the time to do it. maybe once I have more skill and my manifolds don't turn out how mine looks.

and more importantly they are hell for street driving. on the track (a real track, not a drag strip) they are the best bet.

Hell for street driving? How so?.. Have you built one and tried it yourself? Me and beau have tried out 2 different styles, both are solid mounted and drive excellent. One used square tubing and one used round. Both of the radius arms remained in the factory positon on the front bar. Making the ends threaded shown above works great. Gotta love being able to adjust caster.

You guys should see beaus new front cross member on his crx, haha. I've never seen such a "stout" piece in my life.

Here are all the bars I've found for EF's on the market

$460 for Z10's bars


$450 for Full-Race


$365 for a darkstar


$350 for JimFab


$280 shipped for Avid bars


$250 for Place Racing's Bar

he was talking about the captured heim bearings, not the cross member itself.

I have this problem where I dont read the quote above

Interesting, "pair of captured heim bearings that replace the rubber bushings that connect your tie rod to the cm"

I'd like to see something like this...

what's a captured heim bearing? I'll throw some on my civic when I do my front cross member if they're cheap enough.
