I wouldn't mind keeping it down there for a little bit as long as I knew this was a realistic option.. Mark 2000 Black CSVT 3.0L Hybrid - 206fwhp & 195fwtq

Im pretty confident this would be a good group buy item seeing that traction is a huge issue with our cars.

I am not so sure anything would be that effective, but I would like to see someone try. 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 Do you have a pic of one or something similar for another car? Im trying to imagine what it will look like and how it mounts. Just curious. BTW, did you guys get that Probe running? -Ken V. 1998.5 SE Praire Tan Zetec ATX psycho_bass@hotmail.com Roush springs Roush rear sway bar BAT struts 17" Millie Miglia HT3 and a ton of subtle asthetic mods

As you can see the traction bars keep the control arm and front of the frame from moving in opposite directions, thus reducing and/or eliminating wheel-hop. Remember, wheel hop not only hurts 60-foot times, but also is a good way to destroy your transmission in a hurry. As for our Probe, we have sold the 93 GT and are in the process of getting our 1995 Probe GT here from Omaha, NE. We've got big plans for the new PGT, so we'll keep everyone up to date with the progress on that. --Adam Last edited by GForceAuto; 07/22/04 08:56 AM.
