Default Copetition Traction Bars

How come these bars are only for drag racing?
Why do u have to take radius bars off for the street?

i ran the comp. eng. bars on the street for over a year with no problems.....just can't have your car "hella slammed" (like tucking tires), other than that they worked great for me.

i think 235 is a bad idea.. will the even fit? i believe patrick or maybe it was someone else explaining the actual contact patch with tires.. it's dependent on the rims.. if they're stock 15x6.5 your contact patch will pretty much be the same as running 195 tires.. if it makes you feel any better, you can get 205's but it probably still won't make much of a diff between 195 and 205's

235/60 wont fit well at all. Your talking about a HUGe sidewall man. Here is a pic of a 205/55 (thats 55%of 205mm for the sidewall, your talking 60% of a 235?!?!?!)





Sorry for the bad pics, but look att he difference between the front a rear tires, your talking about tires that would be 25mm taller than mine.
