The Pro-Series traction bar is still made from 4130 Chromoly and with a newly upgraded radius arm bar; it only makes it far more superior from previous design. The radius arm bar is now made from Alcoa 6061 1” solid aluminum. Once machined, it is then heat treated for a higher yield and tensile strength. The rod ends are also upgraded from ½” to 5/8”. Avid only uses the best in components with the use of rod ends manufactured by Aurora Bearing Company, USA. Also, new with the Pro-Series traction bars, consumers will notice that custom machined misaligned spacers are pressed in the rod ends. This is made for easier installation and designed for an amazing fit. The Pro-Series traction bars are backed by a manufacture’s limited lifetime warranty.


Key benefits:

•Reduce 60 ft. times
•Strengthens front lower chassis member
•Allows caster adjustment
•Allows easy access for jacking vehicle from the front
•Toe hooks are tied into new mounting plates
•Adds protection to the oil pan
•Light weight in design

No, the pictured item is not of the EF or DA chassis.

This posting is just a product press release....and this is a new hot product to hit the market. More information and pictures will be able soon (including DA and EF kits)

As allways you guys rock...

Can't wait to put it on the car...

That optional bracket for the front on the engine will help a bunch going between gears (no motor movement = smooth shifting)...

my thoughts exactly.

Im sure they are cheaper, but there are other companies that have the same design and a decent price, so what makes these so great?

Will these get lost in customs or get shipped out and never show up like most of Avids other products?

I have been an Avid dealer through 2 different places for years now. A while ago they were having issues with shipping, which was out of their control, but I have not had issues with anything of this sort in as long as i can remember.

I know of many people along with myself who will be running these traction bars on teir cars, Avid gets a from me, you guys are getting better and better everyday! Big ups to the new generation of Avid Racing!

Like others have pointed out, Avid has worked on the issues of shipping to put the large delays and possible miss shipments behinds us all. Thanks Avid

Furthermore; vendors like myself have stepped up to the plate to get items instock to supply to customers. This way, if there is a possible issue with customs, etc -it is the headache of the vendor and doesn't effect the customer as we are not waiting on 1 part to ship 1 each order, we stock items and order before we run dry.
It is always important to select a good reliable vendor that offers a good price -

Thats good to hear. Back in the day they didnt want to do much for me when their EF linkages kept bending on me. I also remember after i took my first test drive after an avid mount install that took me a while because of shitty fitment, i had an unopened coke in the cupholder. The harsh vibration helped give me a coke-washed interior once i opened up the can. The mounts made me hate driving my car. Good to hear they are doing better nowadays. This original ingenious traction bar should definitely set avid apart from the others! SWEET!

i like how the rod ends have the spacer piece "built in", and i also like how the radius arms are hex shape... easy to fit a wrench on to turn, if you need to.

I'm not to sure what Full-Race bars are made from, but I can tell you that our's are made from 4130 chromoly. The biggest difference is that we use 5/8" rod end vs. 1/2" like most companies. It's bigger and holds a higher yeild and tensile strength then the 1/2" rod ends. But, most important! We do NOT use cheap taiwanese rod ends. Aurora is what we use, they're made here in the USA and they have been around forever! Also, the 1" solid hex bar is designed for easier wrenching. With most companies using round radius arm bars it's harder to hold to tighten the jam nuts.

are those the carbon steel aurora rod ends? If so it wouldn't be a bad idea to upgrade to a chromoly piece.
