So what if I found a no-name brand that shared the same design as figure.A? Is it still ---- or can I use it?

I would proly get the jimfab bars or the full race ones. I remember reading a post on honda-tech about how they were the right angle or whatever.

IF there was a no name brand who was making them correctly. I'd say it would be OK to get them. but I'd still rather have the real deal, then it becomes a question of quality and durability, which jimfab and full-race have proven.

Build them yourself so you know they are at the right angle

There website says 450, jim fabs are 350 plus shipping, The real reason that you should go with a brand like full race or jim fab is safety, do you want your life to depend on a 200$ setup that you got from ebay that has no engineering what so ever and is just a knock off of somebody else's design. The main reason i trust jim fab and full race is that they dont skimp on quality materials.

Anyhow, everyone says the full race bars are better and since it was only a diffrence of a 100 bucks i called them to order some, they sold me a set for 415 shipped, jimfab would of been about 380 with shipping, so for 35 bucks extra it was worth it to me to get the fullrace bars, they should be here today i should have an article put together for you guys by monday

Fullrace website says 450, jim fabs are 350 plus shipping, The real reason that you should go with a brand like full race or jim fab is safety and the quality of materials and the research that went into developing the front crossmember, do you want your life to depend on a 200$ setup that you got from ebay that has no engineering what so ever and is just a knock off of somebody else's design that will probably bust in half at any point of impact. The main reason i trust jim fab and full race is that they dont skimp on quality materials.

I am just wondering if I get these, where will my raditor sit?? On my '94 EX civic, the radiator rests on the stock crossmember.
