I asked this ? in the suspension forum but got no help.
My neighbors with a mildly built all motor 00 GSR were asking me if traction bars were worth the money and labor. Its a pretty decent build making around 195whp and 130 ft.tq. IIRC. They were wondering if it would be safe, reliable and legal on a daily driven vehicle that is driven pretty hard on weekends. Would premature axle breakage become more of a headache if the traction bars are installed, or is the money better spent on other suspension mods. So far its got stock struts w/ eibach pro springs, prothane motor mount inserts and energy suspension torque strut mount inserts.

 

traction bars are def worth the money ! On a street car they're great because they help with wheel hop. If its a track car and you got slicks they're not as crucial because the slicks absorb a lot of the shock.

 

And this relates to you all-motor build, how? Traction bars effect bearing clearance how? Maybe I can learn something.

 

You have to love how people do no more then come in a thread and do nothing more then just bash no OP

Yes traction bars are worth the money and will benefit your neighbors car. They take no more then about an hour to do and if on a lift less.

 

If the post was about the engine then it would have been bashing. This should have been asked in Drag Racing.
