Good Trac Bar?

Since CPP & POL are having a 10% off sale and both these tracs are the same price, which is better?

CPP: http://www.classicperform.com/Store/...k/6062DTBK.htm

POL: http://www.performanceonline.com/196...-Bar-Trac-Bar/

Also:
1. Will both of these fit my 1970 that I'm droping 5 inches with CPP springs? (Stock truck arms)

2. Which has better shipping rates? Or is it the same?

Re: Good Trac Bar?

Looks like the POL version is CPP's original single adjustable bar. Their newer version is adjustable on both ends. The only thing I'm not sure of is if the dbl adjustable bar is Left-hand/Right-hand thread or both Right-hand.

The LH/RH thread combo is the ticket as you can adjust the center w/o removing the bar (like a tie-rod end).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Good Trac Bar?

So CPP seems to be way to go?

Re: Good Trac Bar?

Gonna be ordering a POL rear trac bar. Just wondering the difference between these two and which one you recommend for my setup? I have a 1968 with 4' rear drop springs in the rear, with 2' drop blocks, and shock relocators.

Re: Good Trac Bar?

They're both the same. One kit is a conversion kit for a non-truck arm app.

Re: Good Trac Bar?

Early Classic Enterprise is my recommendation. I have had it and the CPP one. Of the two I liked the ECE one better. CPP made the hole on the trailing arm bracket too close to the vertical part of the bracket and I can't get a wrench/socket on to tighten it. I am going to swap the bolt out for a flange bolt which will have a smaller head hex.

I just had a buddy install the ECE this past weekend and it went in perfect.

Re: Good Trac Bar?

If you need U-bolts, another bonus with the ECE is the longer U-bolts are included.
