tracttion bars?
 

I am looking into getting traction bars for my 91. I put a new rear in it about 2 months ago with 3.73s and a detroit locker. Since then i have getting wheelhop. All of the bars i have found so far are $200 and up and i don't have that kind of money right now. Does anyone know it anyone makes a chep set of these for mustangs?

Theres the Lakewood lift bars. You can get them from Jegs for like $120.

The kind you want is the Lakewood Traction-Action Lift Bars.These are the ones that actually replace the lower control arms.

The bars that JL1314 has are the Slapper type of Lakewood's traction bars,like he said don't get these http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...rd/biggrin.gif

Yeah, those Lakewood slappers are definitely not for street cars. I had an '87 LX with NOS that I drove on the street, and the hangers for the anti-dive loops got so mashed that they just pinned the bars to the unibody.
A guy I raced with another LX said he had one hit a big bump in the road and catapult his car.

Is replacing the upr and lwr cont arms with better ones such as fact 5's just as good as that Lakewood setup? I dont think you will have any clearance probs that way. Its probably a little more expensive though.
