I'm selling sets of 5th gen adjustable traction bars. These tractions bars connect the lower control arm to the lower radiator support to improve stability, greatly improve traction, and eliminate wheel hop. These bars are fully adjustable and are easily installed. Each end of the bars are equipped with pivoting heim joints. The traction bars are available in black, red and blue powder coat finish.

$200 plus shipping and handling




I decided to start a group buy list. If I get 10 or more confirmed orders by January 7th 2008, the shipping and handling cost will be dropped. If I don't get 10 confirmed orders by then then the price will still be $220 including shipping and handling.

do you have some installed pics?

 

I'll have the pictures of them installed tomorrow, It got dark tonight and none of the pictures came out clear, so I will take the pictures tomorrow during the day.

 

wtf can someone merge all these threads floating around of this, im interested in how this discussion will go

 

How involved is the install?

 

The install is fairly simple, anyone can do it in under an hour. It comes with all necessary hardware and full instructions.

 

can you post the instructions? well to give a better idea of the setup

 

the instructions are on a dvd but I sent you a pm with a brief explanation.

 

I wonder how these fit with wider wheels, tires, and lowering...especially turning the wheel to full lock...

irish, how do you see these helping on the autocross course...? I'm curious to see your take on this mod for racing...

 

so is there a certain amounts of these ur sellin? And is there really a great improvement of handling wit these installed? thanx

 

One of the cars that we tested the traction bars on had tein s tech lowering springs, 18 inch rims with 245/45/18 tires and at full lock there was a 1.50" clearance. Tomorrow I will have the car come back over and take pictures.

 

There isn't a limit on the traction bars, but if I get 10 confirmed orders in the next two weeks I'll drop the shipping and handling fee.

 

I would say this mod is best at home at the drag strip. It can really help your launch ability.

I had talked to others at Maxus this last year about possibly making some of these, but haven't had the time to get around to it. Is there some way that you could make a better mount for them besides the lower radiator support? Such as a bar that bolts on where the factory front tow hooks are? Thats more of what I had in mind.

Kudos for getting it done!

The factory tow hooks are bolted directly to the lower radiator support which is where the traction bars connect to.

 

In for pics... and more info... Wondering about the people that are seriously slammed with say 19's and 20's?

Yo Ab, I should get a discount for being in FLA. too... right??? lol

 

Post some pics, I might be in for a set.

 

werd, want to see some pics also and would I run into problem being slammed?

 

In for the pics as well.

 

Will these fit the 5.5 gen VQ35??? I am pretty interested in these and if you still have some I will buy them after X-mas...

 

I'm glad someone made these before I did.... I'll be in ordering minez in early January.

Quaife + TB's = or 12sec pass for me...

 

yeh not to mention that thing you showed me..........the super tiny one ....lmao

 

I'm hoping to get off work early today and get home when there is still sunlight out, and take all the pictures that everyone has been waiting for.

 

Where one... LOL

 

Yeah please do, I'll be waiting....

 

This is a picture to show the clearance of the oil filter from the traction bar on a maxima that is lowered 3 inches.


This is a picture of the clearance with a 18 inch rim with a 245/40/18 tire turned all the way until full lock.

Those look pretty good...after Christmas I'll probably pick up a set...

 

I like it, once again these will also fit the 5.5gen correct ? problem is i have some "piping" about to go on in that area, ill need about 1-2 months b4 i can make sure this wont get in the way of my "Piping" hopefully some one i know *cough Cough* bishnu (secondtonone) will get these so i can check em out on his car in person .

 

some pics of the front attachment point....

 

Yes they will fit a 5.5, and I have "piping" cough cough and it is completely clear from the traction bars.

 

Ill have them up tomorrow

 

When are these used? In drag racing? They look like they are too close to the tire for them to be used in Autocross or Road racing.

 

It is most effective in drag racing but is also effective at all times. The picture is when the wheel is fully turned so the gap between the traction bar and tire will NEVER get closer than shown. As long as there is a gap at full lock, the tire will never hit the traction bar.

 

Do the traction bars affect the ride quality in normal street use? I had ladder bars on a Chevelle I used to have and while they did a great job stopping severe wheel hop, I could practically feel paint stripes when I changed lanes.

 

No they don't affect daily driving

 

Is the end black from tire rub or is it the lighting?

 

Then I will be definitely interested in them...after Christmas.

 

Good catch. I see that as well.

 

don't know if this is a dumb ?, but is there any possible way the bars can come unlocked? Like from hittin a big bump or pothole and commin unlocked and moving n possibly rub or hit the tire while driving? just courious thanx.

 

I don't see what you are seeing in the picture, but like I said before the tires does not hit the traction bar whats so ever.
