I finally got around to installing the traction bars on my Ghia (actually, they're lift bars) that I got from Stumpy off ebay. Like his subframe connectors, they fit perfectly. Only snag was that after setting the car down, the snubbers were tight against the front spring eyes, so I had to cut about 1/2" off the snubbers. Now there is about a 1/4" gap on each side.
Driving to work this morning, the ride was definitely stiffer and the rear feels noticably less mushy on accelleration.
Overall, the design, fit and workmanship are excellent. Painted black, they almost look like a factory item. Only drawback is perhaps the fact that they're a bit heavy, adding to the II's already poor sprung/unsprung weight ratio in the back suspension.
