Re: Traction bars...Brands/opinions/experience
 
ive got some Full-Race traction bars (painted flat black, of course) and i like them, havent felt any wheel hop at all. it just spins are or hooks up...

interesting note though... Firestone alignment tech: "...also your 'aftermarket caster' pieces are at there full adjustment..." ??? i kinda find that as odd (noticed it when i put them on too) seeings how they have like 2inchs of thread on the rod ends, and there is only like 2 threads on every rod left...

I'm still partial to the old LCon bars that I used to sell. Round chromoly tubing, powdercoated with aluminum radius rods and chromoly heim joints, but Mikey Mike at LSD is a good friend, so you should buy from him. :6

sorry stealthy....i meant they were better in regards to the information that shortly followed that statement

Noel can tell his story if he wants. I suggest Mike at LSD contacts Noel ASAP and reconsiders his position. If my car sustained that much damage I would be looking for a little more than an invoice for another $35 for a retrofit kit!

I have a set of the original LCON bars. The design sucks. I told him that the tow hook needs to be moved to prevent pavement dig up and the rods need wrench flats in them. Then he started a whole new design that was really nice.
