For what it's worth, I have the Full-Race bars. The build quality is amazing, as are the materials used in construction. As well, I went from having enough wheel hop to break axles, to no wheel hop at all. I can't say enough good things about the Full-Race setup http://www.full-race.com

Here you go:

http://full-race.com/store/ind...9674e

You just have to go to the online store section instead of the products section.

Is their a reason you're laughin or are you just being ignorant because its a company that you haven't yet heard of yet?.. Every company has to start somewhere and you'll have to hear it for the first time sometime..

Rather than just laughin at a company that i have no clue about, i am going to try these since their other product was a quality product with no problems.. i'll give ya a report on their performance once i get them..

Oh, trust me, I know the company and who they are. They're MMR's little side company that "makes" parts. Good luck with the bars and gears though. I wasn't laughing at the company as far as quality. They might actually be ok parts. I was just laughing at the company as a whole.

The traction bars basically eliminate wheel hop. They absorb slop in your suspension bushings in the front end of the car.
