Which Traction Bar & Why? - Lateral-g Forums

I have seen that several here run the Caltracs. Are they the best bang for the buck or are there others out there that I am not aware of.?. Also these would be going on a 69 Camaro with multi leaf springs & a 12 bolt rear. I have also read in other places that it is better to run single leaf springs. Any truth to this? Just trying to slowly get a layout of how I want to build my car once the time comes.

Thanks, Darrell

slide a links due to their infinate adjustability.
not as squirrly on the road as cal tracs tend to be,
single stock leaf springs tend to be weaker

I'm old-school and really like my old homemade slapper-bars that hit right under the bottom middle of the front spring eye.. Price is right too!

I flat don't like that newer traction control devices hit right at the weakest part of the main leaf after I hung onna my slappers on a RR rail ball at a crossing b/c of falling off into a deep pothole and breaking onna my mono's.
