FullRace K-Swap Traction Bar - 1999-2000 Honda Civic Si EM1

The ProAm style traction bar system is designed specifically for EM1 99-00 Civic Si with 1 piece stamped steel LCA and K-swap.  Suitable for high power street, race, and road race cars, this traction bar incorporates an additional front motor mount. This motor mount prevents unwanted motor and transmission movement that is commonly seen on a high output vehicle.  Engine vibrations can be slightly increased somewhat with this type of motor mount. However, this mount can be easily removed in a few minutes with a basic set of hand tools. Simply install the mount when need be and remove it when it is not desired.

Installation Notes:

• There is approximately a 6mm / 1/4″ variation of production tolerance from Honda Civic and Integra tow hook brackets.  The traction bars are built to fit all chassis, and there is absolutely nothing at all wrong with tightening the hardware without washers.  The tow hook brackets will flex outward and the traction rod connection points remain centered.
• The “U” shaped Clevis is purposely oversized.  This allows for easy installation of the heim joint + 2 misalignment spacers.  Tighten it down once everything is installed and the “U” will compress into place.

Full-Race recommends using the traction bars to gently pull the LCA towards the front of the car, just 0.5 or 1 turn. This allows a slight increase in caster, but alignment should be performed to ensure even caster settings from Left to Right.

Note: DO NOT mount the clevis perpendicular to the control arm or any orientation other than in line and level with the lower control arm.
