Eliminate Wheel Hop with CPP’s Street Trac Traction Bars

 

If you're a Nova or Camaro enthusiast looking to harness your classic's power more effectively, Classic Performance Products (CPP) offers a solution: the Street Trac Traction Bars. These bars are engineered to mitigate common issues like wheel hop and axle wrap, ensuring smoother acceleration and improved traction.

 

Why Choose CPP Street Trac Traction Bars?

 

1. Combat Wheel Hop and Axle Wrap

     Leaf spring suspensions, common in classic muscle cars, can suffer from wheel hop and axle wrap during hard acceleration. This not only affects performance but can also lead to premature wear. CPP's traction bars are designed to counteract these issues, providing a more stable and controlled launch.

 

2. Robust Construction

     Built from 1" diameter, 0.156-wall 4130 chromoly tubing, these bars are both strong and lightweight. They feature 3/16" laser-cut, bent-steel mounts and self-lubricating Delrin-style bushings, ensuring durability and smooth operation over time.

 

3. Enhanced Ground Clearance

     The front mounts are designed with a forward-slanted approach angle, acting as a skid plate to help the vehicle glide over obstacles, thereby increasing ground clearance and protecting undercarriage components.

 

4. Versatile Fitment

     Unlike some traction bars that require specific mounts, CPP's design is compatible with various tie plate and shock mount setups. This flexibility simplifies installation and broadens application possibilities.

 

5. Leaf Spring Longevity

   The bars feature a wide, flat linkage that contacts the spring, distributing stress more evenly and reducing potential damage to the leaf springs.
