Default Traction Bar Question

ok a while back i put traction bars on my crx, my question is, is there any adjusts that i need to do to make them work or do you just throw them on and they work by themselve's, they came off a 4 door ef and i was just wondering if i can adjust them or anything?

I believe you can tighten the radius rods to make it tighter. I could be wrong tho.

worth a shot did you have to get their version of a halfsize rad, a oem halfsize rad, or lean back you full size oem rad to have your hood close properly when the traction bar is installed. have heard some people had to do this?

i have full race on my crx . after installing them i did an alignment and the nice part is they allow you to adjust the caster as well

i had to do custom radiator brackets (david is a wonder at these, nothing hard) because of course the OEM radiator sits higher due to the traction bar

i hear a bit of clanking noise when driving around, i have heard that is common

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
