you truely are a fuckign retard mike. you gonna cover the body and suspension damage too? how about issue a recall to all the poor sobs who might be next?
tisk mike.

Re: Traction bars...Brands/opinions/experience
STFU pimples.
thanks for telling it like it is mike.
Im now looking towards full race or lakewood, which can be seen here...
www.jegs.com part # 620-50100
not quite ready to put down $350 for the FR ones, BUT they actually tell you specifics about their products unlike other places that just show you a picture and a price....
so it $279 for another maybe(lakewoods) or $350 for an almost guarantee.
