LCON traction bar review - 92-95 civic hatchback
First off, thanks to LCON and project dc2 ( HT vendor) for the wonderful product that is in my possession now. Although there was a UPS mix up in sending the package, Project dc2 went the extra mile for me to resolve things. Louie at LCON, much thanks goes out to you too especially since you were at SEMA.
The Product-
First off, the product is grade A. The craftsmanship is excellent. No shortcuts were taken when it came to this bar. Everything from the hardware to the powdercoated finish was top notch. The package came with everything needed for a simple and straight foward installation. Its pretty much a no brainer, and since there are a dozen HOW TO INSTALL threads on the forum for traction bars, I wont get into it....just do a search
a few pics of the product....
THE INSTALL...
I am by no means a pro mechanic....maybe just a novice. With a basic CRAFTSMAN tool set, the install was easy and clean. Every part fit perfectly and snug. A 14mm and a couple of 19mm's will do the job.
here are a few pics of the aftermath...
sorry for the poor quality pics, but this was the only camera at hand.
RACE RESULTS-
track day.....was not as it seemed. the slicks i borrowed didnt clear my brakes without a spacer and were flat- doh!...anyways, i was only able to run my street tires. I was able to pull off a best 60 ft of a solid 2.2 and alot of border line 2.2-2.3's ( been over a year since my last track event---yea excuses---) i wasnt too happy with my performance, however the solid feel while launching and between shifts was 100% noticable, no wheel hop at all. I was playing around with launch rpm and tire pressure all day, and am pretty confident a 2.1 to low 2.2 would be easily achevable. the car's performance was decent. Not super happy with it, but will do better next time....ran my best 14.0 @100mph with my with the days worst 60ft of 2.37 go figure
The car does get out of the hole alot smoother. However, tire slippage was holding me back...if that makes any sense.
**NEW RESULTS-
went to the track again....new 60ft is 2.07 new time 13.7@100
STREET RESULTS- The car drives and performs perfectly with the bars. Turn radius has no been effected. Warning: those with slammed cars, you guys will scrape this thing somewhere down the line. My car is at a very functional height and I get by just great.
next update- another track date in a couple weeks.

gonna happen with any car thats extreamly slammed with traction bars. kind of inevitable.
super slammed cars = not good for wheel hop/suspension anyways
