RL Traction Rods... Any thoughts?

Hey fellaz....

Was doin some research on some other ways to achieve quiet power gains. I read that some folks are happy with the RL Y-Pipe mod. So I might invest in one down the road.

I came across this other product on RL's site... Traction Rod Kit. It's not an engine mod, but it has to do with suspension in the aspect of keeping wheel hop to a minimum and keeping traction to a maximum.

The link: http://racinglineperformance.com/shop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=92&idcategory=22

Anyone have this installed? Did some searches on the forum and didn't fins much on it. Any thoughts on whether this is a worthwhile mod?

Unless you track the car or drive like a maniac on public roads you probably won't drive the car hard enough to benefit from those.

Agree! To add to the above, you will transmit more vibration into the cabin as well.

I tried driving my car like a bat out of hell on certain portions of my commute today.... I didn't really lose any traction.

If these are anything like motor mounts, vibrations will be horrible in the car.

Thanks for opinions guys.
