Default do i need traction bars?

as im looking at other setups, i was wondering if i need traction bars?

i have a built/boosted b16, d2 coilovers, ls tranny w/ open diff. i don't have any wheelhop at all and i launch at 6800-7000rpms boosting 8psi on slicks. my current best 60ft is 1.77. i have a b16 tranny being built w/ LSD. should i only get traction bars if i start experiencing wheel hop?


thanks in advance

you still have deflection in the bushings. traction bars will keep everything where it should be instead of taking power from driving the wheels and putting it to moving your suspension around.

traction bars are money well spent...especially with slick...but good 60' times nonetheless
