Default ETD traction bars "Gen 3" - anyone use them yet?

Just noticed that ETD now has Stage 3 bars out, not too sure how long they've been out. Anyone here use them yet, and if so, reviews?
Thanks

I've been looking at them, they look really good compared to the other brands.
Three things that I like about them:

1.They use two bolts on the radius arm instead of just one bolt.
2.The radius arms are 6061 aluminum.
3.They also offer a custom radiator bracket.

Please post your comments after installation, it should be pretty straight forward but you never know.

just got a race series(GEN 3) set 2 days ago. they look really nice. put them on and my 3" downpipe won't clear. gonna have to have a custom downpipe. but other than that fitment is great, and i also got the radiator bracket. will have pics up tomorrow.

Ive had em on my EF for 2 weeks now and I like the fact that they eliminate wheel hop altogether.

I've been running them too for the past week. I like them alot. though I havnt really noticed a difference yet after using urethane bushings in the stock setup. I also dont have enough power to really get things loose. just have to see the next time it rains

But I HIGHLY suggest that you have the caster set not just toe. this can really screw things up for cornering if one of side is off and you just correct it using toe adjustments.

i highly doubt 4-2-1 headers would rub on a b series with these bars, my 4" dp clears them just fine

I just picked up the gen3 etd bar last week and am running b16, hassport mounts, DC 4-2-1 one-piece header. I've got about 2'' of clearence. sorry no pics. With the stock X-member it cleared only by 3/4'' or so.
