Default Sorry for another traction bar question...

Need to decide between the Spoolin Performance EG Bar:

http://www.spoolinperformance.com/sp...49cfdc55f7d302

...and the Full Race EG Bar

http://www.full-race.com/catalog/pro...7ca00d475f8cd9

Difference is $150 - is it worth it or are both designs similar enough to go with the SP bar?

those two bars are very similar designs, and will most likely be about equal in performance.

the important part is both of them use the proper geometry to prevent suspension binding.

i have the full race, because i got it during their end of year/xmas sale.

You are right Don - sorry I mistakenly posted in 'your' forum.

34 views in the suspension forum and not one reply. Maybe I should post about my ignition timing problem...

Sorry about that, but that is where I ask Suspension questions. I also ask Drag questions in the Drag forum, and RR questions in the RR forum.What do I know? 5 degrees castor, -.5 camber (drag) Left front spring + 50 lbs. ( depending on ride height) I like droop limeters in the front and a very high rear wheel rate. 16 degrees, initial, and WOT depends on fuel properties and dynamic comression. I would keep the camber curve to less than .5 degrees per inch of travel. I would also de-bump the front steering to less than .012 of an inch, in the operating range you are using. Not sure what that is going to be.
