The other day a friend and I were kicking it at his shop..(pro fab) and he was showing me his new bolt in design for a traction control arm that mounts underneith the engine compartment of the car into a stock location( cant go into to much detail...sorry)...he fabracated this for a CRX all done up for race..

Well we tossed the idea around about making one for the 2k1 civic and manufactor them. is this somthing that you think you would buy...

he has since made a few for other cars and such and the reveiws on this thing is wonderful, I was told from a couple of customers that it eliminates wheel hop and keeps the car stiffer then shi^ in turns..

pretty much you can toss out that strut tower bar..cuz this thing kicks that things a$$...or just leave it in for extra sapport....what have you...

but if this is somthing you would be interested in buying then my car goes up on the rack for design...

let me know...i need prof to show him...

cool, well he has that CRX up on the rack right now, there fine tunning it. but while its up there i can snap a few shots of the control arm and his wrk for you to view and I'll post them later tonight...so you get the general idea along with what type of metal and what it actually does and how it bolts in....and so forth....and let see if hill start making them for us ASAP...I think Ill post a DIY on how to install as well..while he's fabing the whole thing...but keep posting up the more takers the fast things get done...

So this is just a torque arm? They're pretty common on RWD drag cars... keeps the rear axle down.
Prolly looks a bit like this right?

Or are you just gonna tie the lower suspension together like the X-brace?

 
Rep Power: 322

ummm...no...more like a strut tower bar under the car...from end to end..pretty cool if you ask me...

 
Rep Power: 424

oh.... so like this:

Spoon makes it.

Rep Power: 424

This is the rear

I think I know what you are talking about. The Sentra Se-R/Spec-V have a bar under the bottom of the rear for extra support. So it looks sorta like it doesn't have independent suspension in the rear, but the bar is there for traction control. i will try to find a picture. Did he make something like that for the front?

 
Rep Power: 322

yup
