Default Need to know how to adjust Full Race traction bars

I need to know how to adjust the radius rods on the Full Race traction bars. I looked on their website, but it is less than helpful.

I have them on my CRX, and when you accelerate from a stop there is alot of movement/noise in the front end. Also the bolts seem to want to come loose often. I'm going to the track tomorrow, but I want to get the traction bars set right before I go.

what bolts exactly are coming loose on you? I guess, obviously check your nut/bolt tightnesses. To set them properly, you need to get an alignment. IF you just want to set them so they are not affecting your caster:
-Keep the lock nuts loose
-lower the car on its wheels
-settle the car's suspension by rolling it back and forth a couple feet.
-rotate the traction bars around with a crescent wrench until you find the point where you can adjust the bars by hand.

At that point, your bars do not affect your alignment but still help your wheel hop problem. Once you get an alignment, you will gain more benefits from them.

Good Luck
