Default anybody have problems with their l-con traction bars rubbing against the tires???

i recently installed my l-con traction bars on my 95' civic...and noticed when i turn my wheel all the way to the left or right, the tires hit against the bars...could i mount the bars somewhere else? would it affect anything? or is the shift fork that only place i could mount it?

no...my wheel hop was still the same... the only other option i can think of that is causing me to wheel hop is my suspension...i'm currently riding on no name coilovers and stock struts...but i will see if my wheel hop is fixed once i move the bracket to the currect location for the bars...hopefully that will fix it

So have you made any adjustments in the traction bars or did you just slap them on and expect the problem to work itself out? You have to tune them just like any other suspension component if you want to see results.

i did, i tightened the bars, but noticed it was pulling my suspension forward, so i just tightend them until it bearly started to pull against my suspension, then i tightned the bolts. i will try to re-located the bars to the correct position tomorrow and see if it will help

hook them up to the right spot, get softer springs, replace your front end bushings with poly bushings and make sure your motor mounts arent bad. this should make em stick... if you have any other questions dont hesitate to ask.
