I just installed my new traction bars. I looked everywhere for some at a bargin. Below are pics of them and a link where to find them. They were only $159.00 on ebay. I will update this post Fri. and let you know how much they helped on 60 fts.

Here is the link to find them:

It is an individual or a small company making them.


No wheel hop with street tires on the road.........I will not see how they act at the track with my MT's until Thursday and Friday.

No. It is made for lowered cars. Here is a pic from the front.

They make them for a 88-91 civic, so I would think it would work in a CRX!

Looks very much like the Competition Engineering bars... I put a set of those on our project Civic over the weekend. Getting the pressed-in studs out of the lower control arms was fun.

Anyway, that's a story for Issue #3.
