Traction Master options
« on: August 27, 2022, 12:09:19 PM »
How effective are the Traction Masters for daily driving?  Seems CalTracks would be a better street alternative but are they more designed for track use?

They are fine for daily use cars but they are archaic by comparison to what you can use as an alternative now.

The '65 version of over the top has better function as a race car in that it pulls the car down which results in better race cornering characteristics then the under bars which tend to push the car up.

The over-rides have the reputation for being noisy since they tend to rub on a lot of surrounding materials.

The under-rides have the reputation for bending.

Both are somewhat true.

You do need to acknowledge though that Traction Master was just down the street from Shelby which also enters into the equation of why they wound up on the cars to begin with.
