4 Link or Traction Bars
June 11, 2010 | Filed Under Uncategorized | No Comments
There’s hardly any real comparison between a 4 link and traction bars. However, both do offer gains in traction. 4 Link Suspension Kits prevent wheel hop. Traction bars will help in that area as well, though not as much. The big gain is in stability and lower ET for serious racers. 4 Links prevent the rear end from torquing (pinion yoke moving upward). When you launch off the line, you want all available engine torque being applied to moving the car down the track. If the rear end is wrapping up, even a small amount, you’re wasting valuable time. Drag racing is about hundreths of a second, so this is a big issue. Ladder bars are also a good way to get more traction, though they don’t have the adjustability of a 4 link.
