Traction Bars - FWD Guys check it out

[BLUDVL6]

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out if anyone offers a traction bar for the 2G FWDs. I was thinking that would be a one way to elimiinate most of the wheel hop and get off the line quicker. Does anybody know anyone who makes them? I havent seen anything out there and i was just wondering why not. It seems like there would be a market for them! Thanks

Jeff

Most people I have seen do this custom fab everything themselves. There are people on this forum that have done it... and I even recall an article on it somewhere. Sorry... no link? Beware! Some people will swear you are retarded and have renounced phiysics because a FWD cant pull a whellie, and provided you have the massive horsepower that would warrant bars, you can tell them where to stick it.

I'm just trying figure out if there is a market for this sort of product, which there seems to be, why there is nobody offering a kit. I'm looking to get one thats been thoroughly researched and developed, not something i come up with in my garage. Is there enough interest in a well engineered piece to spend the time on it?

There's no market for it because people wouldn't use it on the street, which is where 98% of DSM's spend all their time.

do you all think he's talking about the wheelie bars for FWD cars?

i'm pretty sure he means something like this: http://www.jimfab.com/susp/92cm1t.jpg

that attatches to the front LCA's and to the front part of the frame.

the thing is, if theres DSM's going to the track....theyre AWD, for the most part. thats why theres not a market because when at the track with DSM's, 99.9% of them are AWD for that reason....traction. the FWD's are just bad ass street cars.

I would be interested in traction bars (NOT wheelie bars). . . . .
