4. Minty Fresh
5. You can't adjust

7. Same as before

Pics:

 

-I DD with an Innovative Traction Bar
-Koni/GC w/ Extended Top Hats 400F/500R Springs
-Feels a lot more solid, A bit more noise but normal for having metal instead of rubber
-Inline4 did my alignment, they had no problem at all
-Had it on a few months, holding up great!
-Jack it up under the Tow Hooks

 

bump I wanna see some trac bars too. Thinking about fabricating my own bar but I wanna see more designs so I can get more ideas

 

TTT, this stuff can really help a lot of ppl out. Thanks to the guys that have posted!

Does the wheel hop still happen when launching hard?

 

PIC select's 12/10k

ETD

not much different than stock really, just more solid feeling, prob. is noisier but its been so long since ive had stock suspension...

aligned it myself at work, super easy. only thing is it hangs really low, and we have lifts in the middle of the alignment rack, i had to take them off, which was a bitch!

its been holding up fine, its been on 2 dif. cars for 2 years and havnt had any problems

jack it under the tow hook points usually

might can find a pic that shows it i will post it up if i can find it

 

1) Yes
2) Dropzone 500f/450r coil and KYB AGX shocks
3) Homemade/fabbed
4) Its noisy and clanky since its spherical links and not rubber bushings
5) Alignment was no problem, easily adjustable
6) It came loose once (bolts at tow hook location), but I'm fabbing another to use both oem location and stock tow hook (hasn't come loose since retighetning)
7) The tow hook locations, sometimes even rest the stands on it on both sides.

Will post pics later

 

Ive had my ETD on a turbo d16 for 3-4 years now, works flawless, powdercoat held up amazingly still shines

315whp

 

Which brand would you guys suggest? Full-Race, ETD, Innovative?

 

-yes

-tokico blues with eibach springs

-z10 clone built by me using z10 radius arms


-ride is decent, handling is good

-i do my own alignments and its actually easier with the traction bar installed because of the addition of a caster adjustment


-its been on there for about a year and a half and its just as tight today as it was the day i installed it

-i jack it on the steel plates on the left or right side


-ground clearance could be better but i'm on 13's and its still higher than my header

 

1. Yes
2. Tokico Illuminas/GC
3. Jimfab
4. Smooth and buttery
5. Easy
6. Great
7. Middle of the Traction Bar
8. Basically stock location

Don't have pictures.

 

Thank you for the input everyone!

Hopefully more people shine some light on this topic!

 

Do you DD with a traction bar?
-yes. going on 4 years

What suspension set-up do you have?
-tein basic coilovers

What brand is it?
-full race

Hows the ride comfort with them?
-long road trips suck, but i think it's the driver's seat more than suspension. other than that, very comfortable...and turns like it's on rails! no wheel hop.

How was hard was it to have the shop do an alignment on your Vehicle?
-no problem. i set the traction bar caster to stock length, they said it was good

How is it Holding up now?
-i lube the joints once in awhile, holding up fine

Where do you jack up your vehicle?
-i use stock locations by the wheels, never have used the crossmember

How low does your traction bar hang? Full-Race, ETD, Innovative which one is lower?
-the bar is not too low, it's the tow hooks that scrape coming out of driveways

 

More posts! please?

 

I like that setup EFfective. That does have good clearance. lol @ header thats low...

 

do the EDT's rub at all?

 

i daily drive my hatch with innovative mounts compation traction bar i really like it well worth the money

 

Do you DD with a traction bar?

yes. 4+ years and goin in one of my ef hatch(grey) and almost 2 years with the other hatch(blue).

What suspension set-up do you have?

GC/Koni Yellows on both cars. 450F/350R and 450F/500R

What brand is it?

both kits from Full Race

Hows the ride comfort with them?

i love it when stiff LOL i've been used to with a stiffer suspension even before having my trac bar/s so no big deal. great when launching, high speeds and sudden braking.

How was hard was it to have the shop do an alignment on your Vehicle?

very easy, peanuts specially with the caster part.

How is it Holding up now?

same as day one, however, it starts to rust a bit next to the tow hooks (welded brace below the round bars). salty water i guess from where i live.

Where do you jack up your vehicle?

mostly at the middle of the bar but using a 1/2 inch rubber padding or insert between the bar and the jack plate.

How low does your traction bar hang? Full-Race, ETD, Innovative which one is lower?

tucked. my PJDM CF lip hangs lower and gets most of the scratches
