Default lake wood traction bars

do any of you guys use these or are they a waste over the lca and relocate brackets?? would they be good for a bolt on car or is it just way to much? if they do work it like they say it sounds like it would be worth it.

search around a little bit. guys w/ slower cars will tell you they like them and the faster cars will tell you they are a headache. it basically puts the rear in a bind to keep it from wrapping under a load.

First I will say $326 is way too much for them. Second, if you do decide too buy them, let me know I have a set I might be selling.

It worked well with a hotcam pushing 360 rwhp. Beyond that, it starts breaking the brackets.

Hello,

Like Tony mentioned above I highly recommend a set of control arms and relocation brackets over that set-up.

We have control arms starting at $109.99 a set and bolt in relocation brackets at $89.95 making a entire kit only $199.94

If you have any questions please ask and I am glad to help.

Thank you!
Ryan
