Traction Brackets

what do they do for the car? i read the thing on t3 but it doesn't really explain enough in detail you know? what would it do for me from a drifting stand point?

is this another thread about the tension rods or is this about the t3 traction brackets?

each part has a somewhat detailed description of it's general purpose and benefit over stock.

well i've already got the 4 link. so does that mean i shouldn't wast my money on the traction brackets?

I thought it for time attack. It could be the last thing for you to get.

if you have 4 link i would just be happy with that... rodmillenstore.com has some expensive brackets that i think are ueo style and there's 2 different kinds if you have to have them but 4 links should be just fine.

thats cool. thanks. i was wondering cause i'm going to be getting the tension rods from t3 cause they are a few $$ cheaper then megan on ebay. i just wanted to see if there was anything els i could get to cut down on shipping.

never buy megan.... just my opinion

traction brackets are intended to restore chassis & drive-train geometry where the chassis weight is again re-distributed onto the rear-end in order for proper traction and reduce wheel-hop.

thanks you. thats what i wanted to know. i guess i'm to technical about the way i understand stuff. but again thank you. another question. do i need them or should i just pass on them? i have a t3 lat bar and adj 4 link right now. due to damage to the front end of the car i'm going to order some stuff from t3 but wanted to try and get some other stuff to make it worth while as far as shipping.

DRIFT GOD! lol. what i'm looking for is a daily drifter for now. due to only having one car. the roads here aren't that great either. i'm running kyb agx's with ebay 2" drop springs. the whole rear end makes so much noise everyone freaks out when they ride in my car due to all the ball joints. oh yeah and now my rear end is making a clicking noise when i turn some ways. kind of like a 2way lsd makes. (i know cause my friend had one in his 240)
