Hopefully this thread doesn't self destruct like all the rest. There are some great companies out there making traction bars. Search around on here and look at all the posts about traction bars and make your own decision. I have full-race bars on my car and love em. There are quite a few guys running L-Con bars as well, with no complaints.

have you noticed less wheel hop on street tires with the addition? i usually run on slicks and don't get much wheel hop on that set up. I usually pull low to mid 1.7 60 ft times on slicks. but launching on street tires is like a violent earthquake.

actually that was my biggest reason for wanting them. I don't make it out to the track near as much as I'd like to. But Igot sick of the wheel hop on the street. Made a night and day difference on my car, but I have some pretty stiff engine mounts as well. It's all a big package, you have to have everything in order to get rid of the wheel hop.

I put in the polyurethane engine mounts and suspension bushings, then put on the Z10 bars. Wheel hop went away on the street.
