yeah get some traction bars, i'll try to remember to post the ones i bought then fabbed up to a new crossmember, i did a whole new crossmember cuze my ED6 has a homemade turbo setup, makes more room, and check your engine, and see if it rocks backwards and forwards, i did the cheap route, filled my mounts with urethane glue from a window place, i suggest innovative or hasport mounts, but yeah traction bars are worth it, i get 1.8 60's no problem and a ton less wheel hop, just my opinions, ill post some pics for

i also have one on my eg. it's a lakewood. but i have yet to better my 60ft times. am i supposed to shorten the rods or extend them for better traction? or am i supposed to just get the bars a loose and then tighten the jam nuts? my wheel hop is still there 100%. and i feel like i completely wasted my money.

sorry no pics, but its over heavy duty. trying to get weight over the the wheels and stuff. another helpful thing, it the poly inserts for the factory stuff. they help alot if ur on a budget

well u'll have to pull your rear bracket or engine completely out be easier to glue, but u will sell 3 spots aroudn the center that are empty have a half-moon shape, just fille the gaps with the urethane glue, and the outside of it, ill take a pic and post it to u soon

heres my traction bar setup (shitty pic) a-1 raicng products make these bars, pricey but light and adjustable, and on ebay u can find a bolt on crossmember with adjustable bars, not sure how good it works but its only $ 220
