Rear traction bars

[donberg]

Is it worth it to replace the stock non adjustable rear traction bars with the MISMO adjustable?

Is your car lowered?

The benefit to aftermarket traction bars is the solid bearing rather than soft rubber. With the factory rubber there is deflection and thus changes in geometry. In theory moving to all spherical bearings will keep the suspension geometry stable during load like acceleration as well as cornering forces. Now, the question becomes will it be noticeable considering how you use your car vs. the possible increase in NVH… If you like to launch your car quite a bit or you’re taking it to the track, then you can put me down as a vote in favor!

I installed Z1 traction arms with race bushings along with toe and camber (race bushings as well). I also installed the Nismo front upper control arms with race bushings. Stiffens up the car quite a bit, but the NVH is minimal since I have more tire meat on the ground.

NO, stock just purchased 2 months ago.

It is strictly for the street, I just notice wheel hop sometimes when I goose it. Maybe tires, not soft enough rubber?

If you’re getting wheel hop then they will help. Also sub frame bushing inserts and Diff bushings.

Do the diff bushings make a difference with acceleration? I have the 9AT so the torque converter introduces some slop, wonder if the bushings would help.

What’s the deal with “MISMO”?

I don’t see any way that bushings will help with that. When you say that the Tq converter introduces slop, can you describe what you’re feeling and when it happens? Maybe I’m not picking up what you’re putting down…
