Default oxidizer and others with traction bars

I am thinking about getting some traction bars. Did you notice any difference in actual launching with and without the traction bars on?

I also wanted to ask the same question about rear hotchkis sway bar. Any difference in launching? I am assuming the only benefit of both of these items as for as drag racing goes is the take off correct?

thanks

They work great in conjuction...with the proper preload you can get quite a bit of rise from the trackbars which means the rear is planting on launch not squating. I like the rear Hotchkis bar for both drag and for street...combine it with a locker and you can do some impressive drifting

now oxi, when you say planting not squatting what exactly do you mean? i know by squating you mean how the weight transfers back and the bumper tries to drag the ground...mine is terrible about that. but what do you mean by planting. also, what shocks are you running in conjunction with the trakbars and the swaybar?
