They do not look to bad, but you can not go wrong with the full race one. Im running the B Series ProAm Traction Bar and its a really nice piece, and for $314 you can not beat it. Hell the prostreet is only $279 right now

is their really even a performance diff in them. should all have about the same effect as long as their made correctly & strong.

cant go wrong with both. more about price & what one looks the best to u should be your only worries.

Our traction bar has the two hooks built in to each side.

Our bars are different then most in the actually material used along with the provisions for the weight bars.

The full race bars are a quality piece. We had found on my car that a different main bar was needed to support the addition of a weight bar attatchment. In turn this is where our bar is different.

You can add up to a total of 250lbs to the car with the whole traction bar kit with all the weight bars setup just as we have done on cars like Pepsi's and a few other all motor guys. Most of the turbo cars usually use right around 100/120lbs right on the front.

We have configurations all the way up to get you the exact mount of weight you need.

The tow hooks are built into the traction bar on our unit.

Two great products, but if you buy one from Miller, he will swear at you in a post down the line in the future .

For what the Full Race unit is going for right now, it will be really tough to beat. I am torn between the Full Race, and the Avid unit...

Both are bars are great, you can't wrong with one or the other. However, our Pro-Series bars are 1 5/8" with a .83" wall made from 4130 chromoly. We use 5/8" QA1 rod ends with a race teflon liner. Pro bars come with a Total Seals it boot which keep dirt and girm from getting into the bearings. It's used in NASCAR and dirt oval track to keep longer life on the bearings. Goodluck with your purchase man

NOPE... There is no authorized Avid Etailer logo, if you do happen to purchase it from an unauthorized dealer. We WILL NOT warranty the products.
