Z10 Radius Arm Traction System
have any of you guys had an experience with one of those 'Z10 Radius Arm Traction Systems'? here is the blurb i found with them:
'The Z10 Radius Arm Traction System can offer your car increased durability, improved traction, lower 60' times and will completely eliminate wheel-hop. It's specially engineered design provides extra stability, enabling you to not only launch harder but to retain complete suspension travel, no binding! Suitable for both road and drag racing, Z10's Radius Arm Traction System retains factory ground clearance and allows for caster adjustment. Mounting brackets are CNC pocketed for lightweight starts. Radius rods are high strength aluminum alloy. Using factory bolt holes, this true bolt-on unit will definitely improve your car's performance!' this sounds pretty sweet, if it works. any comments would be welcome.

Re: Z10 Radius Arm Traction System
Those devices work very well on cars that actually need them. My suggested use would be for cars running slicks(drag racing) or serious road race/autocross cars. I'm gonna get a Darkstar Racing crossmember(not recommended for street use) http://www.mmrusa.com/dsrcrossmember.htm
I just noticed something odd, read the description @ Mantaray http://www.mmrusa.com/dsrcrossmember.htm now read the description @ http://www.jimfab.com/susp/susp.html someone is copying, ya think?

does anybody know why they are not for street use? are they harder on shocks/struts/etc.? i like the idea of no wheel hop, traction is probably better which probably means more hp too. which makes me smile
 . so yeah, if anybody knows why they aren't for street use that would be great!

Re: Z10 Radius Arm Traction System
What are your mod's?
They aren't for the street because they aren't built for it. Lightweight = racing The Z10 does not say anything about not for street use, but it is for RACING!

I run the jimfab bars on my daily driver and they work great. Nothing worse than going to pass a semi on the highway, you hit boost, and you start getting wheelhop and it feels like your car is going to shake itself apart.

i don't have any mods yet, my plan is to put in a b18b and supercharge it, my engine has 140,000+ miles on it and the clutch and transmission are going out, im just trying to get an idea of what i want to do, and those traction control arms look like they could make my car really haul.
