what you don't pay for in your traction bar you will pay for replacing your tore up *** LCA's, spend the money and get a JimFab or FullRace, the otherones ARE DETRIMENTAL to your car's health.

Can you explain further. This sounds like Full-Hype propaganda

That's what I was thinking, but I'm sure he'll give us a great explanation.

This Was posted Earlier by Bamboo in another thread.


the reason why z10 is ---- is that the z10 bar's radius arm mounting points are further from the center point then the Lca mounting points. meaning when the LCA moves the radius arm moves too, only on two different planes, which causes binding and eventually the breaking of parts (LCA's, Radius arms, Subframes, etc)

A is Ideal
B is Z10
C would just be retarded

do you get it now?

BTW the ebay ones are knock offs of z10 bars, not of full race or jimfab. AFAIK full-race and jimfab are the only ones available right now that are built correctly.
