Traction Bar recommendation?
Hello everyone!
I'm planning to upgrade my traction bar but I have absolutely no idea what should I get
I'm thinking about K-Tuned one an Innovative one
both look good to me

The k-tuned bars are double heim which you want to stay away from - they add an additional way for the lower control arm to move that wasn't there from the factory.
The innovative bars are nice, my only issue with the competition bar was the front cross bar would flex (and you couldn't lift the car by it), and there was clunking from the radius rods.
Their newer pro-comp bar looks to fix those issues.

Throwing this in, my innovative pro comp bar snapped the ear off where the front mount bolts to. Don't know when, car doesn't get driven much, but the company was quick to send me a new bar thankfully.
Do not go with a double end link style bar. This relies on only the inner lower control arm bushing to keep the arm from rotating. This type of stress is not designed to be handled by the lower control arm pickup point, the cross member nor the bushing. If you were to switch to spherical LCA bushings, the LCA would rotate freely until it binds causing either the ball joint or bushing to fail quickly.
I use an old Place front cross member similar to the Innovative 59111 with stock style pickup points and built custom adjustable radius rods that have an end link on one end and a hard mount to the LCA on the other similar to the design of the the Innovative 59311 or Hardrace Q0789. I would have gone with the 59311 but the rules my car is built to require stock style pickup points.
