im thinking about getting a set of traction bars sometime before the fall. anyone have any experience with any of them and know which are good and/or bad? ive heard that the full race and z-10 traction bars are good, but they're also pricey. also, which ones come with a front engine/transmission mount.

ive been looking to but only for adjustment reasons ,my passenger side is out 3 1/2 degrees caster .
all the ones i have come across none have a mount for anything but adjustable radiator mounts.

I've had them on 2 hondas. My 89 and my 92 hatchs. I wouldn't waste your money on them personally. Stiffer motor mounts, and poly suspension bushings up front should cure any wheel hop issues you are having. And a sticky set of tire will reduce your 60' if that is what you are after.

Both of mine were z 10s

already have poly suspension all around, springs, struts, poly engine mount inserts, drag t/a's, lsd, and still having traction problems. they are only going to get worse once i turn up the boost a little more.
