This is a reveiw that was quoted by Bioevovle on MSF.com. These are also his pictures.



"I HAVE TRACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me tell you:
It's Night and Day Difference. Drove it around, thru parking lots and speed bumps kinda hard to make noise or listen for scrap, but nothing lol which is great!. Drove in circles to see if the tires would rub under load/stress, nope didn't rub. Mind you, I'm still on stock suspension, stock wheels, tires and 40psi in the tires. (about the worst setup for wheel hop).
Virtually no wheel hop! Very little to none. No more violent car & steering wheel shakes during launch. The tires just spin lol, I think I burnt about 10,000 miles of rubber away on testing hahahaha, couldn't control myself. First, Second and Third just spinning.....YEEEEEHAAWWWW-MF.
The box was kinda heavy lol. Powdercoated Bars & Brackets, HD Heims, Nut & Bolts.
Welds are great like the tranny mount. For those of you doing it at home need the car higher off the ground to drill the a-arm. I have two sets of jack stands small and large, used large for it. Unless you have a right angle drill (which I didn't).

Had to remove my GT Spec 4-Point Brace (now for sale lol). Mounted the rear brackets and bar. Just snugged them down until everything is in place.

Torque everything down, make sure the bars are horizontal/level."

Do you lose any of your front suspension travel?

[/quote]

You will not loose any suspension travel

It moves with the full travel of the suspension, no binding.

In that picture none of the nuts & bolts are torqued all the way. The bolt will stick out when torqued, do you see the plate off the a-arm little? There is not even a nut on the heim bolt yet lol.

I can't take picture under full compression, let me know on how to do that short of taking the coils and struts out lol.

Just looking for details, I wasn't sure if you took pictures of the incomplete install on both sides or if the hardware was too short.

Did you pre-load the bars at all when you installed them front to back?

Did you get an alignment afterwards? I'd be curious to see if it was out at all.

[/quote]

The pictures are of a complete install. Nothing was to short.

There's no need to preload these, and you will not need a alignment afterwards

 

[darkstarmotorsports]

yes, a little bit of drilling is required. You sill need to make 2 holes bigger for the bolts.

So are there any cons or negatives to this mod?
[/quote]

after removing them if you want to sell them you would then have slightly weakened control arms from having holes drilled through them. this is definitely more a drag racing mod, I am sure people will get better and more consistent 60' times with it.

you will not have slightly weakend control arms, when installing you will not drill extra holes. You're just boring out a existing hole to fit the bolt through it.

VIDEO!!!!

Ok, this video is with stock suspension, stock wheels and tires, 40 psi in the tires and about 45 degrees out. The worst setup for wheel hop. It does alittle hopage but not much. Now if I did this without traction bars, my wheels would be bouncing into my fender wells lol. The suspesion would slam so hard it would make me get off the gas and the car would shake violently.
Now it just gives way less vibs and the steering wheels doesn't vibrate your hands numb lol.
Anyone with aftermarket suspension and lowered should see way better results than my setup. Oh yeah don't forget about the mounts: SU Rear, Turbotech Front, Medieval Tranny, Top Speed Passenger.
