Rotary Performance Drag Launch Kit

Anyone use their "Complete Traction Kit"? I am considering going with this as it seems to be the most complete one available. At $489 I feel the price is reasonable but I am curious if anyone has any experience with this kit and whether they were pleased with the performance of it. My main concern is controlling wheel hop/making the rear end reliable. I will also be installing a Kaaz Diff and 300M Axles at the same time.

Thanks

Ethan

It will do nothing but help you! The trailing arms and toe links are good quality pieces. You'll be pleased. Ari has been around since the beginning of time so your customer support will be great as well.

Yep, I bought another (5th one now lol). It seems no matter what else I get I always end up with another 7 at some point. From the reading I have done it seems like people are in love with that rotary extreme set... Too bad they are so hard to come by now. I may just order this set from Ari as I am sure they work plenty well if they have been using them for a long time and the price seems decent for the whole "kit".

Good to see you still around! Whatever happened to the drag car? Anything?

Thumbs up

Ive had the complete kit on my moneypit FD for several months now. I can say that you *will* notice a reduction in wheel hop.

Installing polyurethane engine mounts - such as the ones that can be found on this forum - will also help, as there will be less engine movement. Throttle response is definitely improved, and the car will still be very streetable.
