Default anyone running z10 traction bars

i am getting interested in a set of these. i have a couple of questions. do they only help straightline or will they help auto-x also? i do both and want to improve in both. let me know any input you have on the situation. i searched but only yielded that it eliminates wheelhop. but nothing on auto-x. thanks

my buddy has a custom setup he did on his EF hatch with an H22....nice thick chrome moly tubing and urethane bushings....

the before and after was nigh and day. Cornering helped keep power to the ground and it felt more stable.

This along with no wheel hop made it VERY worth while

how much do they help for auto-x situations? i know the wheelhop is eliminated but what about the rest. also how difficult is the install? thanks

Just be sure you know how to "tune" them so they actually do something. A buddy of mine bought a set when they first came out and never knew how to make them work, so it was a $450 waste of money.

I hear great stuff about them when they work, though .

Do you guys have a JIMFAB button on your keyboard or something?
The guy asked about Z10 not Jim Fab. Its getting old seeing go Jim Fab every traction bar post. There are many good bars out there. Just look for the best priced bars with the best customer support and youll be happy with any of the listed brands.
