Search the Archives for "traction bars" and you'll find a number of threads discussing this very topic.

LCON makes good traction bars. The new bars have the tow hook postioned differently after I mention they hang really low and they scrape everywhere.


Any car can use them. They will reduce wheel hop, and will lengthen the life of your lower control arm bushings.


If designed correctly, they will have no negative effects on the car handling.

LCONs are designed correctly.

Make sure you get them 'set up' at an alignment shop......I went 2 months w/o an adjustment and the car was twitchy, pulled, etc. I love the solidity, but it needs to be done right.

yeah i can attest to this... i got older LCONs and have to watch out for dips and angle changes when turning from road to road, my two tow hooks have ate it several times leaving nice gashes in the asphalt my car is lowered on coilovers so they got about 1 finger gap in the fronts.

keeps me from wheel hopping

Traction bars are cool. I have had one for probally two months now its helped alot with wheel hop and it stiffend up the front end of the car much better than any strut bar ever will. I got my bars from explicit racing. Its in Bremerton Washington. The bars barely hang lower than stock. You almost cant even see the bar. It also has the tow hooks which alot of other traction bars dont offer.

I hacked those hooks off right away.

They stick out so much. I told louie about it so he changed them and put the hooks in the front. Also for not having wrench flats in the bars. Now, his new ones are perfect.
