This bolts to the sides where the tow hooks are,and then the rods are bolted to the lower control arms,its fully adjustable and by far one of the best pieces on the market,just a little pricey for some.

The purpose of the traction bars is to reduce wheel hop and to keep the control arms from flexxing back upon launch,in other words it keeps the tires planted to the floor to the best of its ability.

just loosen, and you have to get the car aligned... other wise might pull to the sides.

Default Re: check out Speed Scene Live project car

We are building a drag only project car on the Speed Scene Live net TV show. It's a '91 CRX with a K motor in it. The next thing we are going to do is install a traction bar. Go to http://www.speedsceneracing.com anytime to check out the car and stay tuned as we will show you a step by step install on the traction bar.
Visit the archives page and watch a free TV show about the build, or go to the racecar project page to see photos, or visit the product review page to check out the Hasport mounts product review.
You will know everything you need to know after watching the install.

Going to show a little of an install of a ETD racing .com traction bar on Speed Scene Live tonight. Will show you the kit before the install, and will show an entire install on next weeks show. By the way, the bar is good for drag racing as well as road racing, street or strip. You gotta check out the cool radiator mounts that they are making also, you can install them anywhere on the bar and at any angle. Really a nice product
