Not another "Traction Bar" tread...

[spirockp]

Ok it seems to be that time now that I have my Limited Slip installed and I now discovered what wheel hop is. But which one?

"Weld in Under Rider" - "Slapper Bar" or "Slid a Link"



Everyone seems to say that all have worked in their situations, but again which one? And why is it always the most expensive one seems to be the best bet. "Slid a Link"

To start, I have completely replaced all of my suspension front and rear. I also know that there are other options out there like "Spring Clamps" and even replace the trans and or engine mounts, but mine are also new. So again which one... Tell me what you think.

if anything, just do the Caltracs.


Cheap side, the Lakewoods work fine, if your spending money go Caltracs

Lakewood direct fit. No such thing as a slapper bar if they're adjusted correctly. The direct fit bars replace the factory spring pad/shock mount.

of the three you pictured, the traction masters bars at the top are the best ones to use on the street, and in most racing situations. the slapper bars, and the slide a links are good only for straight line acceleration only. the caltracs are a better choice than the traction masters though.

Some experiences of mine:

Lakewood slapperbars:
Best of 12 runs => 11:047s @127mph with 1.68's 60ft.

CalTracks:
First run: 10:834s @125mph (missed shift 2-3:th gear) with 1:48's 60ft.
Second run: Grenaded clutch.
