Default Opinions wanted. full race traction bar vs hardrace bushings

alright, heres the deal, i have a full race traction bar for my EK that i planned on using. but had also wanted to order that hardrace complete bushing kit for my car. i've read many threads on here about the traction bar and seen mixed reviews. also keep in mind, the chassis has 100k miles on it with same oem bushings

this is a street car, allmotor (ls/vtec, twm itbs,rmf header, lsd) but not my daily driver. i dont plan to drag race with it, might do some autox just for fun tho so......


SOOOO give me your opinion of what u'd recommend and dont forget to mention why lol. or if u have used either product, post up what u thought about them. i dont want to waste money, especially in this economy lol, i want the most bang for buck.


THANX!!!!!

bushings + new balljoints + tie rods would be great if you are gonna start to autox. I've heard a traction bar won't be accepted by some autox associations or will put you in some form of race class..

Both. There's no reason why you can't do both on the same car. I'm currently running an MB Products traction bar with SONEM hard rubber bushings on my 1996 hatch.

As long as the traction bar is well engineered to not bind when your LCA travels up and down you'll have no ill-effects installed on a street car.

The biggest bang for the busk will be to do a complete bushing kit especially if you can install them yourself. This way you address the entire suspension and not just address wheel hop.
