Interested, but the price is a bit steep (maybe it will go down?) . Ill try to set some money aside for when your guy decides he will begin making them.

Bump. My muffler will be here today so my trip to speed source will be SOON! Anyone else interested, post up. I think we may be able to do MUCH better than the $350 price.

Got back from vacation Sunday guys. I have been swamped at work (due to the large pile waiting for me on my desk) and I have not had a chance to schedule my appointment yet. I would like to get over there in the coming days. Sorry for the delay...

I am going to speed-source tomorrow morning so I should have something to report when I get back!

I have fairly bad news on the traction bars. These pieces need to be attached to the front cross member. Unlike Hondas, our cars do not have any "bolt-on" mounting points. As such, the only way to make these pieces for our cars would be to make a welding plate on the end of the each side to be attached to the front cross member. The area where the welding plates would be installed is circled in red in this picture.
The bottom line is that I suspect that because these pieces cannot be made as bolt-ons, interest may fade dramatically. However, considering that most of us that want these have fairly modified cars, perhaps getting the welding done to two small plates would not be that big of a deal. I certainly don't think it would be.
With that said, you need to let me know if you would still be interested in these pieces even though they are not bolt-ons. Add your name to the list if you are:

could you give us more info on where we'd have to get the welding done on the car so we can judge the difficulty and priority of the spot..
and did they give you a ruff cost estimate?

We didn't talk price on Friday but he told me before that he could make these at or less than the cost that full-race was selling them for. The two plates will need to be welded to the back (or under) side of the front cross member. It will be slightly inside of the apex of the front control arms. It would be SUPER easy for any competent welder. If the group buy goes through, there will be directions and measurements on exactly where to place it (although given the length of the traction bar arms, you probably wouldn't need the measurements).
