Pro bars come with a Total Seals it boot which keep dirt and girm from getting into the bearings. It's used in NASCAR and dirt oval track to keep longer life on the bearings. Goodluck with your purchase man

.83" or .083" wall?

Re: Traction bars

when chosing a traction bar, pick one that allows the suspension to follow the natural arc it is supposed to travel.

i know the full race ones do, the z10s are close, and the comp engineerings arent even close.

i use the full race bars and never had an issue.

Re: Traction bars

We have had very good results with the ETD/k-tuned traction bars. And there customer service is great.

Re: Traction bars

ive been running the comp bars for a few years now, dont see any issue with them. even got alot of street driving on them no binding on them what so ever.
probably around 5-6k on them. with good power.

they are angled out & tilted in a little, wouldent that follow the "naturl arc".?

You cant go wrong with any of the pieces. They are all quality and have there place in the market.

Re: Traction bars

Don't get me wrong, the NRG piece is beautiful and I am sure it works great. Not to mention I love the provisions for the weight bars. I just couldnt justify it at this point given the cost of the other pieces... And just like Miller said, all of these mentioned are quality pieces, and deserve their place in the market.... Hell if it works, it works!
