Actually Nath, Innovative don’t do the front torque mount bar for their traction bar – I really don’t see why as they have the bracket already there and have the skills and manufacturing all in place??? This is why initially I was looking at ESP’s traction bar, but they want another $100 for this front bar.

Also, I’ve read that a lot of people run slightly harder mount kits and there is no need for the front mount. :wink:
I think both sell them for people’s piece of mind.

I’d certainly like to have a front torque bar made up too bud, just for added stiffness, but maybe using one of those small dampeners you can buy for engine torque. But it ‘should’ be fine to drive with the three mounts, plenty have for ages now and driven hard over there.

Just my 2p. Be interesting to see if they come back with the same info.

Mmm…still thinking about the 95A. I know it’s overkill but it’s a track car now…and they’re red! :oops:
:lol:

Well they aren't cheap, but worth the investment as they are well built, so it wasn't too hard to reach 20% so soon. Any additional people add to the list is just a bonus now then. 8)

I think you're right about not neccessarily needing the front torsion bar Rob, but I've put the question across anyway. Who knows if we get enough interest and they see this they may actually develop one for us ;-)

Who knows, would be nice. But as long as they don't price in the R&D that's all. It would take the pain out of sorting it out ourselves though.

Scott has questioned the lack of torsion bar on the competition bar before and apparently they haven't developed one and didn't intend to. He has however asked again on behalf of us.

As said though, this is something I could potentially develop if all else fails and people still want one.

Scott also pointed out that IM make their mounts to order, so we should expect anywhere between 1 and 4 weeks for production time depending on the size of the order. I'm sure this won't cause any issues for anyone though ;-)

Not sure if he needs to find out what "his" price is yet, but I did ask again in my reply ;-)
