what brand is that one for 250? I've seen a bunch of posts where no name brands bend, break, etc. Go with full race

I love my full race one, I have no way to quantify that it is better such as time with or with out. It feels much more solid. I didn’t get it for traction but instead I needed the space for my tiny ef to make room for the down pipe. The nice feel was just a side effect. It does make some funny noises as I load and unload it. Well worth the money!

does your car have excessive wheel hop? If so traction bars will help eliminate that.

its worth it, it keeps the axles from flexing back when launching, and when u got alot of power u can pull the caster forward. it will keep u from snapping axels.

the full-race bars are definently worth it.
my girlfriend got em for me this past christmas.

car feels much more stable and holds the road quite nicely during daily driving.
at the track, 2nd time on slicks i cut a 1.8 60 ft, nothing amazing, but for the 2nd time on slicks, actually launching, I'm lead to believe they definently gave a helping hand

The best part of my full-race traction bar is when it grinds against the driveway when i leave work.

That doesn't sound very fun

I'd go Full-Race or L-con.

If you live in a place with high speed bumps or security barricade that sit on the ground like on almost every military post here in Germany, HELL NO!!!!! It's not worth it!

I got some EDT ones off ebay, my only complaint is that they sit too low. but they have the best design saw, they mount both bolts the control arm intsead of one like the other campany, and they have tow hooks cut into them also. just hang too low for the riders

i kno edt, do these traction bars frequently get in the way of intercooler piping. Yes i get tons of wheel hop. However i also live in an area with lots of speedbumps, Like my exhaust alone scrapes sometimes unless i go on an angle. How much does the full race go for?

edt clears all pipes. thats why I got them, they sit below the radiator mount and AC mounts. the only problem is the tow hooks are too low., but I think the design is great
