Traction Bars Any Good?
Having Traction @ full boost w/Falken Azenis.
Would Traction Bars Help out? (Looking at some FR Products)
And is it a Big Difference or Minimal Gain? Worth it or Not?
Inputs Needed.

I have the z10 bars on my ITR, it made a night and day difference in getting rid of wheel hop. At the strip I adjust them 'toe in' about 3-5 turns. The car also feels like it's on rails cornering with the bars.

I'll second that motion! I have lakewood traction bars and I couldnt drive the car for **** at the track 12.8@118.7mph but they do help tremendously on the street. I still buried 1st and 2nd gear on potenza s02's but it saved me from spinning 3rd. Although when I was at the track it never wheel hopped which makes me happy. Very worth while investment if you ask me!

tein basics on my integra...original wheels with bfgoodrich g-force sports.
used to hop all day long.
i put my full-race traction bars on. overall, the car feels much more stable. handling really improved. wheel hop has gone down dramatically even with street tires, i think they're worth every penny.

Re: Traction Bars Any Good? (yehiknowrite)
hell ya they help. i faught it at first then two diffs and a tranny later i put a set on and it stopped the distructive wheel hob.
keep in mind they keep you wheels pointed in the right direction also. when you are launching or pulling hard down the track your tires will toe in a ton scuffing speed. the bars will keep things straight.

Re: Traction Bars Any Good? (trickeng)
I plan to get a set when I turbo my Integra. Maybe a bit down the road though. I have a set of koni/gc, not on the car yet. I only plan to make about 280whp at most, becaust it is a stock b18b. But wheel hop is a no-no. That's what kills alot of axles too. And plus I want my car to handle like a champ.

Um Wrong.
Really looking to see if its worth the Investment for the "Street" not track.
Other than that...Already Considering Traction Bars.
Thanks for the Responses.

u can actucally dial your caster settings in with traction bars
I got one of the first sets from FR for my EG coupe. Almost completely took away the wheel hop.
