MS3 Tractions Bars sneak preview

[DS motorsports]

Just got a reveiw from the test car!!!!

These are awesome!!! Basically all the wheel hope was GONE!!!


For those who are wondering about the bend, it's a 9 degree bend for those who are running a larger dia wheel and more leavage

 

[specvspeedfreak]

how much????? and is this going to just stop wheel hop (cause there are so many mounts out already for that) or actually do what it says and give traction? All i get now is wheel spin. I need TRACTION

 

[RC08MS3]

yea spin is my issue now, i need tires but a traction bar couldn't hurt

 

[fructus]

Let me get this straight. Once these are installed, the car will stop burning tires and just go?

how much?????

Ditto!

Traction bars historically don't increase traction. They allow you to create controlled wheelspin, as when one wheel breaks loose more readily than the other and you need them to be the same. On rear wheel drives, they also called them "slapper bars", because they were adjusted so that on the side that didn't spin easily the bar would literally slap the leaf spring, shocking the suspension and making that tire break loose. That way both tires spun in a controlled manner. Of course, I'm only familiar with traction bars for RWD. It could be a completely different concept for FWD.
I'll bet that if you are feathering the clutch and at the point of getting traction, you start getting wheel hop. I know I do, and I'm barely modded. If these things will eliminate that hop and give me a smooth transition from spinning to grabbing, I want them.

You got the concept, and your right, these wil help the tires catch some grip and stop spining

Can't release prices, not a vendor here.

man when are they gonna give ur status back, i havent had any issue's with you guys, and it seems you always innovate cheaper then anyone else.

Stock mounting holes or something you have to modify?

don't know. Haven't heard anything from Antoine, I guess we just all need to PM him

Nothing has to be modified.

I'd really like to see a photo from directly underneath to get a better idea of where the mounts get installed.
The initial post mentions larger diameter wheels will clear, what about wider rims and tires. There are many of us running 235/40 on 8 inch rims. Will that be an issue?

 

[specvspeedfreak]

so this is only used on one side and not both???

 

[Element]

Had a set of these on my SRT4 and they helped a lot.

 

[RelliMS3]

I really don't get what/how this affects the car. Can anyone explain for the dummies like me?

 

[Sport6]

Its supposed to prevent axial twist. So if you launch hard and its trying to put all the power to turning the wheel, its to prevent any other parts from turning with it.

Hmmm, so is there any downside to these?

Won't be a issue

Both sides

I saw these over on the other forums and this will be one of my next purchases after I get the side mount I ordered from you tonight

cool thank you.

Not to take away from the seller, but just installing a decent set of springs on my car removed all wheel hop. I dont launch the car, but on rainy days when I mash the gas, just spin, no hop anymore
