Traction Bar - VS - Stock Front Crossmember
I was wondering which I should use. Right now I have the place racing front cross member and it's already bent. So I'm gonna trash it but need to know what to buy next.
I don't plan on doing much drag racing, mainly road racing. Does removing the front crossmember to replace it for a traction bar create more chassis flex? Are the front crossmembers more solid to help stiffen up the chassis? Or are the traction bars just as good?
Basically what I need to know is a traction bar a good investment if I want better suspension while going through turns or should I just stick with the stock one and just use polyurethane bushings? I would like opinions by people who have used both. Thanks.

For the EF chassis Jimfab makes some nice *** traction bars, with the engine mount on it.. Its better then stock, because its without the bushings in front, I drive my full-race bar daily and love it.... I'd say if its busted, buy something bettr while you are at it.
