in the near future im looking at ordering an ESP traction bar (not so much for the performance but it looks a lot cleaner as well since im shaving my engine bay). but my question is..... with my accord being "bagged" on air ride suspension would the traction bars limit how low/high my accord would go when i hit the switches?

From what I understand, It's about the same since it replaces your crossmember. it may actually give you slightly more clearance depending on how the cb7 stock crossmember is shaped. I'm looking into getting one aswell.

BTW Justin, I picked up a dohc F20a from a cb7 guy and it has your old blue valve cover. Small world.

naw it wont. all a traction bar really does is stabilizes your lower control arms and the other suspension parts connected to it. but it will be just fine, the traction bar will move and pivot as you air up and down.
