I just wanted to jump in here and give my opinion.
I have the JDM bars on my truck and they do the job great, I have the BellTech 3/4 kit and the full Bassani Exhaust and the bars still fit. At first I didn't think the JDM bars were going to work on my truck with it being lowered and having the Bassani exhaust on but they did fit fine and work great. I also wanted to say that Don made a couple of good statements about them, they make zero noise once they are installed and help to tighten up the rear for handleing as well.

01whiteLight,
I have very similar mods to yours, and I'm running the Truck Tracks on my daily driven L.
They won't eliminate spin altogether but they do help keep the truck from going sideways as badly
as without bars...
Great product, built like a tank, and install in under 30 minutes.

TRuck Tracks
The truck tracks are very similar to the very popular Lakewood design I used years ago on a low-12 second 340 Dodge Demon and a 69 340 Dart GT. The bars wrked excellent. I remember how the rear end used to actually raise up a little when you took off. I'll be getting the truck tracks. Sometimes old technology is as good or better than the newest.

talk about old technology the covettes use the same type of traction bars as the metco bar the picture sal has doesn't show the spring flex but it does the upper link uses the same principal but backwards i can understand beleiving what sal says because he knows all so he acts like it.
