Question Traction Bars and Handling?

Hey corner carvers!

I have those damn 10.5 Rs in the rear, and they wouldnt clear my quad shocks, and as you can probably guess, I have NASTY wheelhop I've been reading about traction bars, and well...they aid in TRACTION obviously My question is, are they only good for straight line use? I don't need to hook THAT bad if it means losing any cornering ability...

Thanks in advance! Belle

Wheel hop is suspension loading and unloading...

Figure out how to help cure that. Putting traction bars is like putting a cast on your leg cause you knee bends. Not the best solution. Look into lower control arms first, IMOHO.

Darius is right. how about a set of Megabite Jr? i assume you will be drag racing it a little? i dont know. but if you really want to take the curves, listen to Darius. he has alot of personal experience to make your car "hug" those curves!
