Subject: Re: DML: To Bar or not to Bar...
I have a set of Moe's Traction bars on my 05, and I really like them.
They're very well built... makes the lakewoods look very cheap. They
also have an adjustable snubber so you can have a stock ride when the
snubber is down, and when it's up they really help the tires grip...
even with street tires. They're deffinitly worth it if you drag race a lot.
If you get a good set of traction bars, you should see some better times.
