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

If you're looking to get the most out of your classic Camaro's rear suspension, especially when putting down serious power, UMI Performance traction bars are a solid choice. These bars are designed to bolt directly onto your leaf springs, whether they're factory or UMI's own, and they work to significantly improve forward traction while reducing or eliminating that annoying wheel hop. This means you'll get a more consistent launch off the line and better overall performance, whether you're hitting the drag strip, carving up a road course, or setting up for autocross. You won't need to cut or weld anything on your car's chassis to install them, making it a straightforward upgrade.

What sets these traction bars apart is their robust construction and thoughtful design. The heavy-duty fabricated mount replaces the factory leaf spring plate, which can often bend under stress. Unlike some setups, the traction bar mount is welded directly to this plate for a strong connection. The bars themselves are adjustable in length, allowing you to fine-tune the balance between ride comfort and responsiveness. UMI uses Delrin bushings for low-friction movement, ensuring the bars can do their job effectively without binding. These are race-proven, having been tested on UMI's own '71 Camaro, and they are 100% made in the USA.

For an even more enhanced performance setup, UMI suggests pairing these traction bars with their 2624 component. This upgrade is a direct bolt-on solution that dramatically improves your car's ability to put power to the ground without requiring extensive modifications like a back-half conversion.
