Default Competition Engineering Traction bars and how they compare to others

Has anyone used the Comp Eng traction bars? I hit the search and it seems more people say jim fab over z10, but how do these compare with the latter two? Comp eng has been in the domestic market for awhile so they should know suspension, but for imports?

I just ask because jim fab is on backorder, and z10's I have no idea where to get and I heard something about a radius angle being wrong. Any input?

Same thing with the arms on these. They are super straight and dont allow for proper suspension movement. They will work, but are dangerous and deff. should not use this type on the street.

I'm not sure I'm following completely. They don't allow you to steer the car properly? Thanks

Unfortunately it seems that CE has blundered their import products so far, like so many other reputable companies that have tried to take their smarts and apply it to imports after working with domestics for 20 years.

GSport/Lakewood has Titanium traction bars that weigh about 4lbs.

That's what I rock.
