Tractions bars and Brakes Pics

Some have asked me to post up some pics of new JDM traction bars and others wanted to see pics of my GT500 Brembos/ Baer Rotors, so here's both.

I don't know for sure I wouldn't think so. 14.5" rotors and those big calipers take up a lot of space behind my 20in wheels. The caliper had to offset just a little to make it work with what I had. Give Eric at Hux Racing a call. He fabbed up everything for me.

Looks good. Are the bars noisy? Did it cure the wheel hop?

I've done research on the rotors to install them on my truck. According to Baer they won't work with an 18" wheel.

Normal driving, I don't even know they are there. No noises at all. Now when I punch the go fast pedal, they might be the noisest set of traction bars ever made, but I wouldn't know it. Between the extreme screaming of the Kenne Bell and my loud exhaust, everything else is completely drowned out. Seriously though, I haven't heard the first squeak out of them. Axle wrap is completely gone and I have much better traction from a roll. I still spin like crazy from a dig, but I don't think any traction bar is going to fix that. Sticky tires and better weight distribution is my only hope.

i also heard removing your front sway bar creates better weight distribution
