Re: anyone usein lakewood traction bars

they work just fine on the street. What i was illuding to is that lowering the back of hte control arm can help traction, but can also hurt cornering. However, this is something most people will never notice on the street, unless you are pushing the car very hard.

Re: anyone usein lakewood traction bars

Hello,

I haven't seen too many people having good luck with those traction bars.

What I recommend is a set of control arms and a set of relocation brackets. These items combined together will work as a lift bar would. The brackets will help to plant the tires harder into the ground.

Below I pasted two links to these items, please take a look and let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you!
Ryan

Re: anyone usein lakewood traction bars

Im using a set of lakewood LCAS. They work just fine. Solved my wheel hop issue.

They are NOT the same as the traction bars. I have yet to see anyone on this site recommend them.
