Hey everyone

I took a look at the assassin bars and they are definitely some nice looking pieces. Im just not sure that i will need that much adjustability, Like I said my car is street/strip with a little more of the set-up leaning towards the street-able side, but im still having some issues with traction and some serious wheel hop, so I just want something that is going to help me put some power down with my new motor. I like the idea of keeping the rubber busing on the front with the cal tracs, but I was also reading that it is very easy to unset the pre-load on the slide-a-links so for street driving they arnt as stiff.

This is the set-up I have plan to run with which ever traction aid i choose

-Hotchkis Leafs
-Adjustable shocks(brand undecided)
-Mickey Thompson ET streets 275-60-15
-cal trac or S-A-L

Running 3.42 and planning on running a Continental Jim Hand Special Converter all being launched off foot break

Thanks
Mike

I had bad wheel hop issues until I put the caltracs on my TA. Picked up .2 on my 60 ft.

I just adjust them fully off the spring for street driving and never know they are there unless I forget after a trip to the track and things get a little bumpy.
