    Sorry. Benifits are under harsh accleration. The stock arms and bushes flex under forward and backward movement, ie under acceleration the tires want to move forward before the rest of the car. This is what causes your hop or unsettleness. The traction bar locks in this movement.

    fair enough, would you say this is an alternative to upgrading the front suspension bushings?

    I tried full race and avid racing traction bar
    Worth every single cents , We used them for circuit with EGK20A and quater mile aswell on EGK24A. Big difference in launching the car off the line with traction bar. It help me to run 1.66 60ft .

    Nope! Its like holding a bag of sand with your arm out horizontal to the side (like a control arm) If someone add another bag to it, your arm will move. The force has 'leverage' and is easy to move.

    Now if you held this bag of sand with your arm down and vertical. (like a traction bar radius arm) and somone adds another bag, it will not move. Your in the line of force and supporting/resisting that force.

    was looking into the traction bar coz this lower tie bar that does nothing at the moment makes my car lower than it should just don't have the heart to take it off at the moment at the chance it does improve something since i've already paid for and installed it:

    ive got one made by spoolin performance, it was an l-con designed bar, same as full-race bar too, he purchased the design off them lot. Havn't tried it yet, will be running full alumin mounts so i doubt ill have any troubles, it's well made, beefy billet radius arms, proper eyelets etc... wort it for sure, its a must have item i believe if you track/drag.
