I love my Full-race traction bars, it beefed up my suspension and the whole front of the car ALOT. I could write a whole page on how much better my car feels now but I don't have time, I'll just say that I felt the difference the first time I drove away from my house.

L-con all the way, awesome bars, strong, great welding, fit perfectly, and Louie is willing to take the time to answer questions you may have. I have them on my ef hatch, i already have the es full bushing kit and I noticed a huge difference in cornering/launching over the front crossmember.

Geometrically, there is only one way to skin this cat. Obviously there are only a few manufacturers out there who are doing this correctly. Right now, we are arguing over two bars that are geometrically going to work identically. Given that, there are qualities about the two kits which we can use to differentiate between the two. Chromoly Heim joints, 360* wrap-around tabs, 1/4" pierced end plates, and built in tow hooks set this kit apart from the rest. Not to mention that with all these features it still only tips the scales at under 10 pounds. Both bars are great, they both serve the same purpose, but I have an L-Con bar for a reason.

Where can i get an L-con traction bar? iVE heard theres several sites that sell them for $300 shipped, but dont know wich sites they are.

My friend bought his from rabearracing.com and said they showed up only 2days later. but i cant find them on that site.

IS there a site that sell them for cheaper than $300shipped??
