Buy a known quantity, don't buy an Ebay product. It's been proven time and again, that you get what you pay for. There are many rands of traction bars out there that work very well. I personally have a full-race bar on my car, and I love it.

Not to mention you are supporting an American made product with a good reputation vs. something sold out of someones parents basement drop shipped from china.

u can buy the ebay one and hope it never breaks, or u can get the full-race one and forget about it, just my opinion, but why buy something that u have to worry about, and check on all the time, when there is a foolproof alternative

well you cant really say "Ebay traction Bars" Ebay is a place to buy and sell things. You may find full race stuff there or avid stuff there and that does not count as "Ebay traction Bars".

I had many people come up to me for parts and I hear them say "well I found a turbo on ebay for $x.xx) now that dont mean its one of the cheap *** ones but it may mean someone is selling a real garrett one for good price or a used unit.

Some people may make good stuff and sell on ebay but if your saing like a no name company vs fullrace then yes stick to full race or avid. Stay with a name that has been around for a while and has had good feedback

So please guys, if you wanna use the term ebay, please have more info on the part then just the name like of ebay

Alot of ebay stores sell low quality parts but definitely not all. The price is usually a good indicator though.

ETD pro race bars.. Several cars have left our shop with them and none have came back with any issues.

They are not made in china and can be found online, or on ebay.

My buddie went 11.9 @ 118 in a dc with a stock LS engine, 50 trim, MT 24.5s and ETD pro race bars. I have the you tube if you like.

Bash me if you like but the concept of a traction bar and what they do is a simple design. If the right materials are used along with the right angles, geometry, welds, hardware and joints; I don't see how you could mess it up.

What your reffering to are China made Traction Bar Systems...

Do not I repeat do not purchase a China made Traction Bar System...

I can go into detail about this and have on other threads...

A Traction Bar System breaks which is main piece in some of Honda/Acura chassis's and keeps the wheels centered in some of the chassis's your not only taking your life in your own hands but others on the road.

It should be a crime to sale junk as key as this for safety... look at all the ebay cheap china headers that break with little stress. Imagine your Traction Bar System that has a lot more...

Our ESP units are hand made, one of the last Companies doing this. I will never skimp on quality.

I would go with a full-race, etd, or avid bar. I didn't, and I wish I did. I have some stupid crappy one and my short track times are no better with it than they were without it, and now i have less room for my downpipe.
