Ok, so i installed traction bars today, it used to be that on a hard take off i would get alittle bit of wheelspin and it always was the passenger tire that would break first. Now i installed the traction bars and i get a bunch load of wheelspin, the passenger wheel still breaks first and the drivers side will sometimes break right after that. I mean i NEVER had a problem with being able to lay down a nice little patch and make ALOT of noise. Now the whole idea of the traction bar is to stiffen the springs, to load them and plant the tire, and to keep the rear axle from twisting the rear springs into a S shape. I heard that you can also adjust the rubber nobs so the car launches straight and to stiffen the springs independantly to make a limited slip act like a posi (much like you can with airbags) Is the traction bar doing its job? i mean i must be getting more power to the ground to be able to spin reasonablly easy now? Also if the passenger side is breaking first, do i need to raise the driverside nobs closer to the leaf spring to plant the drivers side sooner?
