or you can just take the 2 bolts out of the heims to adjust... anyway looking at that design it doesn't look like it is going to leave much clearance between the block and the crossmember... you'll notice it bolts up to the same place your factory one bolts to and goes straight across. other designs bolt to and drop down from the tow hooks allowing much more clearance for that 7"er you're talkin about.

maybe you just turn the nut on the end and it pulls the arm in and out?

Adjusting a Crossmember comes into to play when your Actually making enough power to require one for anything more then added space.

When you get into preloading FWD suspension or adusting you Caster you will know the difference.

Again with this design you are only getting 180deg adjustments like crx88si said.

I'm not bashing these guys, I have seen there cars in person, and possibly even talked the shop owners? Plus they are the only ones at this moment offering a DA traction bar at sub-$350.

If you'd have actually read what i posted you'd have noticed that i had spotted that one out already.
I was just concerned at the quality of it. I mean, you can buy a lot of ---- off ebay, and a lot of times it turns out to be ebay quality. A Crossmember is not something i would like to have fail so i was curious as to whether or not anyone else had used one or know anything about its quality or any other makers. Thanks so far for the responses folks, i'll probably end up getting one unless somebody else wants to be the HMT test dummy.

yea but when i ordered my lcons that mounted to the tow hooks, i went to mount it and all the welded nuts on the other side of the tow hook snapped off, the only option was to cut out the frame to get to it to put other nuts on or weld the bitch in, i ended up just putten em to the side because one of the threads got fucked up on the radius rod, anyway the tow hook mounting spot can be a bitch sometimes depending how old your car is or how good those stock tow hook nuts are welded on
