Traction bar for ek...any good?.....

[Weasel]

Does anyone know if these are any good?.....
Ive been reading up a bit about them but not sure if they will make such a difference to warrant splashing out on them.

I can see why guys into their drag racing would get them...but would they be any good for a circuit car?....
Can anyone explain why (if they are), any good....

thanks.

I had Avid traction bars on two of my old EF grandpas and they were great.

Yeah for drag racing i understand but for road racing i dont see the point. Can someone please explain

oscarsayco, keeps the wheels planted better, more tire contact should translate into faster lap times [pending skills].

Similar but not the same are motor mounts, soft will allow front wheel hop, hard will decrease front wheel hop. Less hop should translate into better lap times due to more tire contact allowing the car to grip and move forward sooner and faster.

Full race are cheaper direct. I think if your looking for chassis mods for a circuit car I would look at poly bushes, Rose jointed bottom and top arms.

^I agree^ ...there are other ways to achieve the same result as said by rs250nut, if on a road course. Traction bar is still good for drag use tho.
