They have Carbon swing arms that have wall thicknesses that are only 1/8" thick and hollow in the middle, if u were to take one of these swing arms, or a chain stay and hit it on a solid piece of aluminum it would dent the aluminum before even a stress fracture would show on the carbon part. most of the chain stays were subject to 600*F at peak temp, and over one metric ton of pressure...
but if they were to make solid traction bars they would MORE than hold up to any pressure u could throw at them as long as they are "cooked" all the way through
Very well said... we FWD owners need this traction bars, and nobody makes them for the Proteges, and that s*** is a must if you have power and dont want to spin tires and get mad grip at launches.. Honda's uses them and they are competing with AWD and RWD cars at launches
