Ok i have a 99 TA . I was thinking of buying lakewood traction bars ,The ones that u can preload the chasis . I wanted to know who has them and if u like them . What other option do i have ? BMR metco?

 

traction bars or just lower control arms? i was always under the impression traction bars where for leaf spring style cars only????

 

well lakewood makes a set like lower control arms , but u can preload the chasis for when the car bits . Its like allmost like the tork arm but on both sides

yes thats them!

 

dont buy them. they are a waste of money IMO. all you need is a good set of tires and LCA with welded relocation brackets. those bars tend to break when you wheelhop anyways.

back in the day i went 1.47 60' with just LCAs and relocation brackets (as suspension mods) on a good tire.

 

Agreed. People are going 1.4s-1.5s on stock control arms and torque arm.

i've seen that design break the turnbuckle off more than once.

 

DO NOT BUY THOSE P.O.S! i bought those for my car along time ago and it caused my car to wheel hop when doing burnouts just to heat the tires. i broke the adjustable links on both of them 2x's even after i upgraded the links. they do nothing but bind the suspension imo.

relocation brackets and a set of box or tubed lca's is the way to go.

 

Can't say I've heard of these relocation brackets, care to fill me in? what they do exactly, and where to find them?

 

Here is a picture of the weld in relocation brackets and the bolt in relocation brackets. They lower the rear mounting point of the lower control arm on the rear end and by doing that you are adding more positive anti-squat to the car which help with overall traction and launching the car.

 

BMR bolt-ins are foolproof. Just on the off chance
that your welder isn't.

 

ive got the bmr tubular lcas and the lca relocation kit and i love em

 

Those, an airbag in the RR, and QA-1s. Problem solved.
