Traction action

I was looking at companies that offer FWD traction soloutions and came accrost an interesting one.

Traction Bars

It seems like a fairly simple and affordable option for better traction. I sent them an e-mail to see if these can possibly be adapted for use on our cars. By the looks of the product and looking at the stock suspention it should work with little modification. Possibly these and improved engine mounts should help out alot. Anything to reduce wheel hop and improve traction cant be a bad thing.

Thoughts on this are welcome as I am not a suspention expert

If my understanding of it is correct, this system corrects torque steer by keeping the front lower control arms stationary in respects to the length of the car. It won't do jack for wheel hop, I don't think.

We are prducing lower control arm bushings to fix this issue and to control wheel hop. Here is a pic of the SRT-4s that we make. They will be very similar.

And here is what they do

I had a huge prob with wheel hop on my srt, even with struts and springs it was still as bad, till i changed the motor mounts, and worked great, till i broke the motor mount bolts. What can you do.

I would definitely be interested in purchasing these as soon as you have some to sell.
