Traction Bars Front Strut Tower Bar Rear Strut Tower Bar Okay, this isn't set in stone yet, however, when the time comes GForce Automotive is going to need a Cougar and Contour in Indianapolis, IN. GForce Automotive has partnered with Cyborgzero Tek, Inc. for new products for the Cougar and Contour platforms. The following items are currently being considered: Traction Bars: Will help eliminate wheel-hop, improve traction suring hard cornering and help reduce 60-foot times Front Strut-Tower Brace: Will stiffen the chassis and allow more vehicle stability during agressive cornering Rear Strut Tower Bar: Same as the FSTB only it will stiffen the rear of the chassis We would be in need of a car to test fitment and quality of these products. Please let me know if you're in the Indianapolis area and would like to help out.

Front and rear strut bars/braces are already in existance, so the demand isnt as high for those. Although, another parts source wouldnt hurt.

Sure it would, with the traction bars you tie the lower control arms into the lower chassis, therefore, they cannot move front-to-back only up and down as they are supposed to. thus eliminating wheel-hop, a common problem in most FWD vehicles. this will allow you to launch harder and corner more aggresively. --Adam
