im currently getting my car ready for the import vs domestic race in Nov @ MIR

i have a set of axis 13" wheels w/ slicks that i will be using.. im in the process of installing my full-race traction bars and im having trouble with them clearing the drag intercooler piping on the car now..

im going to need to get at least 2 90* silicone couplers in order to make it fit and clear i think.. but time is running out because i will be out of town the week before the race..

so question is, are traction bars really needed when using slicks at the track? right now i dont have alot of wheel hop at all when i launch, but i do have traction problems w/ the front wheels spinning when i get on it..

also i bought these traction bars used, is there a certain way that they need to be adjusted or setup when installed?

thanks
ryan

 

traction bars will make a big difference! hit up full race jeff he seems like a nice guy and im sure he will help you with whatever you need to know.

 

thanks man i appreciate it.. im going to try to install the traction bars tonight and make it clear the intercooler piping..

 

I had stock struts with eibach pro kit spings only on my full weight eg hatch, and pulled 1.7-1.8 60 fts all the time (no trac bars of any kind)...This was a car with 250-300 whp and a 24x9.2x15 m & h slick,...Hope this helps..
