Re: traction bars?

did you even bother to see that they're not made for thirdgens?

get some quality UMI parts or similar and run them. LCAs, panhard bar, torque arm, relocation brackets, etc etc

Re: traction bars?

Those are for A/G body cars.

Third gen suspension doesn't get axle wrap the same way other suspensions get. "Traction bars" don't work with third gen suspension.

All you need is a few basic aftermarket suspension components to replace the weak factory stuff.

Adjustable torque arm that moves the front mount off the transmission. The adjustability allows you to adjust the pinion angle.
Lower control arms and relocation brackets. Poly bushing ends are fine for a street car. Rod ends for a race only car.

Re: traction bars?



if you posted the wrong link by accident and meant to post the lakewood traction/lift bar setup that they make for the 3rd gen, dont bother with them either, they are not the best things out there. Stick with a good set of LCA's, panhard, crossmember mounted torque arm and such from UMI, spohn, ect... whoever you prefer
