So I just got a 98 hatch and realized there aren't any type of radisu rods on them, but saw the car has A arms.

I see companies like full race still make traction bars for the EK, but I was wondering if the A arm stops wheel hop, or if traction bars are still needed, even for the EK chassis?

 

Traction bars will help.

 

does the A arm stop more wheel hop then the factory traction bar on a 88-91 civic or crx?

 

anybody?

 

yes times twelve, your going to want traction bars. there is a good writeup on the full-race website.

no, a crx with good bushings will have way less wheel hop than the newer civics.

 

one of the reasons you would get wheel hop from an A-arm setup is b/c of bad bushings no??

so wouldn't replacing the bushings w/ polyurethane pieces help enough??

obviously traction bars are proven but this is a cheaper route. (if its worth it at all)

 

traction bars are a must.

 

well looks like I'll be getting traction bars then.

Just bought a built EK GSR turbo hatch. Doesn't run right, but when it does should be making 350whp at least.
