LSD will solve your problems and make you very happy!

Thanks :wink:

[Mizery]

yea id say so. but do you know fo anything else?

also how much does the front strut tower bar help out for traction? im in themiddle of making one.. but wanted to know how big of a differance it will be?

[Mizery]

also would i be better off replacing my rear fms srpings with some nice stiffer ones? if so which should i look for?

[DuritzCrows17]

have a custom traction bar made like you see on all of the fast fwd hondas and such.

[Mizery]

how well does it work.. and how did you make it? i was thinking of trying it but didnt know how to go about it.

[DuritzCrows17]

It basically gets rid of any wheel hop which equals alot better traction, I havent made one yet but I will be checking out honda-tech when the time comes and then going about making one.

[Mizery]

well if i dont have one by then lemme know what you come up with

[miami man]

i remember years ago chrysler used an adustble pinnion snubber that bolted on to of the differntail and when you gassed it it whould hit the bottom of the floorboard preventing wheel hop

[Mizery]

hmm any pics of one? or where to get one?

These are the only two I can find.

[DuritzCrows17]

very nice looking one anomoly. I would also recomend filling the engine mounts.

[Gforcefd]

how would we make one of those bars? I would love to install one on my car.

[anomoly40]

Well I found those on honda tech and it basically bolts to the top of the Ball joint to limit the wheel from hopping all over, it also looks like it limits front suspension travel a bit too.

I'm guessing have a removable bar go across the front of the car that has two little bars going to the balljoint. Youd have to get one that was solid instead of grease filled and have a little flat piece go under it.

[DuritzCrows17]

The main benefit you recieve from having a traction bar is it doesn't allow the lower control arm to travel backwards when launching, instead it keeps it stiff and forward which essentialy eliminates wheel hop when teamed with some nice solid/ semi-solid mounts.
