I had to put traction bars on my 94 because of serious wheel hop at
the track. It did solve 90% of my problem. Can't beat the price
either, $30 at AutoZone. (Crome Lakewoods).

I have 80,000 on my original clutch, which has suprized me
considering the way the poor thing gets driven, and the fact that I
am running 3.21 gears. So far no signs of slipping.
