waste of hard earned money. i know they work but if i had wheel hop problems i would look into the problem not just a simple solution. i have 2 cars that i drag, neither has wheel hop problems. look to the bushings not for the easy fix.

Where can I get some of this "sliced bread"?
Actually, anyone know where I can get traction bars for the Del Sol?

Both bushings and traction bars will help prevent wheel hop. Traction bars have the mechanical advantage though -- kind of like opening a heavy door from the door **** rather than 2" from the hinges. If it came down to either bushings or traction bars though, I'll take the advice of the guy running 9's.

more like this guy is the guy that has never had problems with wheel hop whos suspension remains tight, who pulls 1.8s w/17psi in the tires. havent even launched the car hard yet. i use to pull 2.0s on 205/45/15 DRs in my heavy *** 99 EX coupe.
if u look at my first post i did say they worked, but i would recommend lookin into the suspension first b4 pointing fingers and gettin a quick solution.
