Hello Tym, I'll give ya my two cents worth on traction masters. I had them
on my Mk I and they did not work at all. They did not stop wheel hop or
help with traction that I could tell. In fact they seemed to prevent or
reduce the proper travel of the rear springs. Plus they hang down so low
that I had to be careful over bumps and even small dips in the road scared
me. There's got to be something better and more modern that would work.
regards
Armand
