ok out of curiosity i auto x anddo canyon roads but dose any one knoe if a set of traction bars or a h brace would do me any good?? will it improve my tractingor handling..?

 

They're for eliminating wheel hop, mainly used for drag racing, I'm not sure how they handle in autoX/circuit. I don't see why not.

 

as far as suspension i have 98 spec type r rear swaybar , arc brace, stock front sway eibach springs koni yellow struts, front upper nuespeed strut bar, password jdm rear upper x bar, hankook ventus rs2 tires, and thast is pretty muchit for suspension and tires. why would u diss and say i dont know nothign??? i know tracting bars kill wheel hop but wondering if they help any handling and faras the h brace i have never seen any one use it so just asking..

 

You've never seen anyone using them for auto-x for a reason.

 

ok no need to be a dick my friend.. dont have nothign nice to say dont say nothign at all

 

Short answer:

No. No no no. You don't need them, they're added weight.

 

ok ok ok thanks . by the way nice hatch... oh anything u thing i can do to improve handling now that u know what i am runing with???

 

What kind of handling problems are you having, and what vehicle?

With the setup you described, you shouldn't be having any problem ... other than the hands and feet behind the dash.

 

no dont get me wrong no problems at all i am not a pro driver but i hold my own i have a 93 eg had a jdmgsr but blew it... so now just a single cam the only thing i notice a diff is exit speed on corners yet i dont havemy lsd type r tranny. so thinkingon investing on a jdm d15 lsd trannyor installing a obx one my self. i was opnly curious cause somany types of bars ou there i have never used nor know any one that has so if thereis anythign i might of over looked as far as building my set up maybe some one can help..

 

any one else please.... bumb

 

Bracing is less important than tires, dampers and sway bars. the ventus tires are good, but there are definetly better ones out there. An LSD will help with corner exit like you said, but for daily driving its not necessary.

-just noticed you said auto X. LSD would be a good upgrade.

 

ok i see what u mean just outof curiosity tho do they help at all if any?? i mena i know u dont want a totally stiff car u want some flex here and there. know where i can pick up a decent lsd d and maybe a better or slightly taller fd?

 

The only way your traction could get any better is if you had an AWD... You have a god damn FailWD car as it is... And handling? That **** is for pussies. 1/4 mile at a time, no worries.

 

well i like turning fast man i mena i been abel to make sti and some evos let me pass them on mouttain road any one cango fast straight but not for me i like turning .. i guess i am all set ty guy for the help...

 

i think you need a roll cage before those H brace and traction bars.

 

roll cage?? thats more safty than performance dont u think??

I know you're talking about traction bars, but...

The last I heard, autox cars work better with NO bars at all - matter of fact, I think it's against the rules to disconnect them 'cause it gives you an unfair advantage over the competition.

Is this still true?

Heh!

Guess I can go look it up, huh?

Personally, I *think* adding 'traction bars' will hamper your ability to dive deep into corners before braking, and so forth, not help!

 

Okay, I just did some checking...

What class are you running?

Evidently, it's okay to disconnect your sway bars - front and rear. LoL! I would swear it used to be illegal...

Ppl are disconnecting the front bar to cure understeer and disconnecting the rear bar to dial-out oversteer.

Strut bars can only be attached at two points, either from one upper shock mount to the other, or on the lower suspension mounts. Triangulated bars are not legal for Super Stock or SCCA SP, unless you disconnect them for competition.

No mention of traction bars anywhere...

 

Turning fast is overrated, besides suspension=more expensive than a turbo! Go fast

 

More fun to drive a slow car fast. Handling is way more fun than just flat out speed. Smashing the gas gets old but carving some turns is always fun.

Heck yeah, coming out of a corner at 7200rpm is way more fun than going 7200rpm in a straight line. (D16Z6 redline)

Agreed! 8200rpm FTW! (B16A redline)

Now, compare that to a 9sec D16 1/4 mile run...
