UMI Performance 70-81 GM F-Body Leaf Spring Traction Bars

When you're looking to get the most out of your classic muscle car, especially one that sees a lot of action on the drag strip, road course, or autocross, controlling how your rear suspension puts power down is key. This set of UMI Performance leaf spring traction bars is designed specifically for your 1970-1981 GM F-Body, including your Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird. They work by connecting your rear axle housing to the leaf springs, preventing the springs from twisting under acceleration. This action dramatically improves forward traction and helps to eliminate that frustrating wheel hop you might be experiencing.

What you get in this kit is a well-built set of traction bars that bolt directly onto your factory leaf springs or UMI's own leaf springs without any cutting or welding required, making installation straightforward. The heavy-duty fabricated mount replaces the factory leaf spring plates, which are known to bend under stress. UMI welds the traction bar mount directly to this plate for a solid connection, and the bars themselves are adjustable in length. This adjustability allows you to fine-tune the ride quality versus the responsiveness of your rear suspension, giving you control over how your car handles hard launches. The bars use Delrin bushings for smooth, low-friction movement, and the entire assembly is 100% made in the USA. These bars have been race-proven on UMI's own '71 Camaro, demonstrating their effectiveness in demanding conditions.

To further enhance your rear suspension's performance, UMI suggests pairing these traction bars with their part number 2624. This setup is a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to significantly improve their car's ability to put power to the ground without resorting to more complex modifications like back-halfing the chassis.
