My Trac Bar Experience

[Snrub]

I installed a whoosh trac bar today. I was really surprised at the difference. There was a very significant reduction in torque steer. It really makes the car more fun to drive. The cars pulls side to side far less when talking off aggressively. It feels much better when powering out of slower, or tight corners.

I often read posts like this and I'm very skeptical when folks claim huge benefits. I often suspect the placebo effect might be playing a bigger role in the feedback than the product.

I truly do not understand why Ford didn't include a solution like this from the factory. Many modifications make a car feel more crude; this one is the exact opposite, it feels much more refined and well tuned now. This probably should have been the first thing I did to the car.

Now Change out the Trans fluid to BG syncro shift 2 or Ravenol MTF-2 75w80. These two things IMO are some of the Best felt mods. Enjoy!

That's another one that I've read about, but I don't get. How can one full synthetic GL-4 fluid feel so much better than another?

Years ago when I had a second generation RX-7 Turbo II, switching from a 80w90 mineral oil to a 75w90 full synthetic improved feel a bit, reduced grinding and it seemed to work better in very cold conditions. Switching with other cars has made no real difference.

I had the same experience, money well spent. The only issue was the welded nut came lose somehow and needed to be welded back on.

Read up on here....I've used them all. Those two I've found to be the best for all weather conditions.
