Anybody use Lakewood Traction Action Lift Bars?
Here's a snip from their website:
Lift Bars for Camaro/Firebird BOX PACKAGED
Lakewood Traction...Action Lift Bars work with axle torque to lift and
load the chassis. This forces the wheels downward “planting the
tires”, transferring power to the pavement and eliminating wheel
hop for improved traction and straight line launch.
Traction...Action Lift Bars are engineered for easy bolt-on installation
with no welding required! Legal for NHRA stock eliminator classes.
These bars feature an “adjustable” load control strut to allow right
or left side suspension pre-load for fine tuning the chassis under
various track conditions. Manufactured from heavy-gauge square
steel tubing to prevent flex or bending and featuring an attractive
black powder-coated finish to resist corrosion. Includes polyurethane
bushings for positive suspension control and stability, and grease
fittings for ease of lubrication.
1982-98 Camaro/Firebird 21700
Do they work? Any clearance problems? TIA

Re: Anybody use Lakewood Traction Action Lift Bars?
I had some back in 1999.
They were crap.
Car rode like it had ladder bars.
Hooked worse at the track.
I had a professional chassis guy look at them and he said that they would just bind the suspension and break.
They broke a few weeks later.
If you do a search in the Drag Racing forum of www.camaroz28.com you will find others who had the same experience.
