Im curious to gather input about traction bars such as this one which is made for the 94-97 Accord

http://explicitspeedperformance.net/ESPTBS.html

Now the question is also about the torque bar, pros and cons?

 

All I can say is do it. Its my car on his site with the pics... I got the first set he built annd have had absolutely 0 issues with them. They are strong as hell and almost overbuilt. I have a bigger setup in it now, but the ****in thing is amazing.... I have Johns Motor mounts with the super hard inserts too... The traction bar works AMAZINGLY well... DO THE TQ MOUNT... It really really helps too.I make well north of 600WHP no hop, no nothing.


They are the best thing to happen to the front end of a CD chassis period.


You have PM of them at work. Note my motor does not MOVE on the pulls... :O)

 

To the guy with the 600+hp are u hseries? or fseries? turbo?

 

Youtube spikers turbo accord. Correct me if i'm wrong but spikers is extralargenog. Respect for him.....that accord will cream your pants period.

 

Yo bro, how are the cornering abilities like with those babies?

 

Here is my question about the torque mount.... How much is vibration increased for the car as a whole. I have enough from the Innovative Mounts with the H22 Type S w/ the lightened flywheel. Things that I was told to be the cause of vibration.

 

The flywheel has nothing to do with the vibration. Yes the tq mount may increase it a tad, but both ends have poly insers in them. I dont run Balance shafts, and I have very hard inserts so I cant honestly tell you exactly how much.

Id venture to say that if you already have the innovatives that it would be negligable. BARELY (if at alll) noticable.

 

I have 235/60-15 M&H drag radials on it now alll the time..... But when it had the 17s and 40 series it was awesome. They are a MUST, I KNOW theyd make a big difference on anyones car that was looking for an improvement... Handling wise included as there are no radius bushings to deflect.....

Ya dig???

 

How much weight did it save you? Any install pics

 

Traction bars are for rear wheel drive. deh.

 

What?

 

ESP mounts


With the old topmount 3" DP and single 2" dump....










New setup shots....4" DP, twin 44s, dual 2" dumps and still plenty of room :O)

 

that setup looks amazing

 

does it sit lower that the stock crossmenber. i just destroyed my stock one but i still made it the 75 miles home (destroed the drivers side tire from if being pushed back into the drivers fender.....i hit a manhole cover on the drivers side subframe in a paving zone).

 

thank you sir.

 

Whats the weight difference between the stock and the traction bar

 

Believe your looking at 45 lbs with stock stuff and about 20-23 with our Front Torque Mount Kit Traction Bar System, nice little savings

 

Good to know. I will be placing an order soon hopefully
