traction bars
ok so today my bro and i slapped on his turbo (drag kit) from his eg and put it into my ef hatch... the only problem is that the charge pipes to the intercooler were hitting my traction bar so we took off the whole traction bar setup and took my car out for a spin... the only problem is that when we took off the traction bars my wheels were rub the back of my wheel well... like it was pushed up all the way back... so i was wondering if i needed new pipes or can i rig it up somehow to fit in with my traction bar

Re: traction bars
Hmmm, yeah Like Dave said something sounds broken if it was pushed that far back... Are you sure you adjusted the bars correctly? You should be adding positive caster (prefferably on an alignment machine) which would mean pulling the suspension toward the front of the car, or shortening the radius rods. Did you adjust them longer?

Re: traction bars
No this was on his EF Honda Right?
So you took the Crossmember out out your EF and now you are running without any Radius Rods on your EF? 88-91 cars have nothing else holding your LCA forward so of course your tires are rubbing the back of your wheel wells. Thats probably not the only wrong now. You Alignmet is going to be screwed, probably buggered your LCAbushing depending on how far you went.
What type of Traction Bar did you have? You normally can't run the charge piping the same way on a EF then an EG
