get lcon, they make a huge diffrence in wheel hop & traction. fit great, and they help stiffen up your car alot. it was one of the best "bang for the buck" purchases ive made

I personally like the Full-race traction bars. I have never had a problem with any product that Full-Race produced.

It is recommended to get an alignment after installation. When you do, tell the alignment shop that you have the traction bars (and thus the ability to adjust caster), and have them align you caster settings to factory spec.

What do you guys think of an ebay "special" (cheapy) traction bar.
Just wondering if any one has used them and if they like it. I am planning on buying one and it is going to be going on my daily driver so its not like I need a full race traction bar.

Money seems to be a factor and the ebay one will be about 250 shipped. Any body know of a good one with in my price range. Willing to spend up to about 300.

just cause its called full race doesnt mean its only for highly modded drag cars. NEVER COMPROMISE WHEN IT COMES TO PERFORMANCE OR SUSPENSION!

That you don't try to fabricate one on your own.

Trust me, the Full-race bars are top notch and worth every penny. I think there is a vendor on here that sells them for a good price. Check out the link that I included in my previous post and read up a little bit about the engineering that goes into these products.

i have the full race one on my da
it really makes the car feel a lot better. i think its worth every penny
car feels much stiffer

downfall is it sits super low and it basically scraps everywhere you go if you cars lowered
