Ok, I want to get some lower control arms before I go to the track for the first time. I found these Lakewood Traction Lift Bars that look pretty rad.[:-] Are these better than your normal after-market control arms?? Click here
Tell me what you guys think....[sm=bounceybounce.gif]

Honestly, I have never seen anything like that. LOL Im not quite sure how they work.

never seen anything like that myself... i would get a set up upper and lower control arms and maybe a stiffer sway bar and call it a day.. maybe one day get some lakewood drag shocks cause i like em

well i have had them for 5 years now, and they work great! mine was horrible for spinning till i put them on, now you really have to dump it to spin

i would personally get the lower control arms (which is what i did) those lift bars ,from what i hear work excellent even better than lower contorls arms, but the only downside is u lose alot of ur handling abiltys cause its trying to lift up the back, but i just got lower control arms put in and they work great probaly not as good as those but i still would like to handle pretty good

i have not noticed any handeling problems, but the ssm lift bars do

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 replace the stock lower control arms and feature relocated pivot points to lift the chassis. Engineered for easy bolt-on installation with no welding required! Legal for NHRA stock eliminator classes. These bars are manufactured from heavy-gauge square steel tubing to prevent flex or bending and have an attractive black powder-coated finish to resist corrosion. Polyurethane bushings are included for positive stability, improved ride, and greatly reduced road noise.

but it just seems like they from the description, i know lower control arms do what ur talking about

Yeah, I'm not sure if they effect handling at all. THey look like would provide the best traction, but this car is my daily driver so I can't afford to lose any normal street driveability.
