Got the k-tuned traction bar
The welding isn't fantastic. You can still see visible signs of splatter and the welding seems to be done by some amateur welder..
These tabs are only welded on one side instead of both side...
Good clearance
Take note: Do not tighten the radius rods during initial installations, make sure there is some free play before lowering the car.
After installing the radius rods, I ensured that there is some free play and hand tighten the lock nuts. Then I drove the car for a short distance to make sure the front wheels gets to settle back into their neutral position.
Once that is done, I reached under the car (four wheels down on the ground) and tighten the rod to ensure there is no free play, followed by tightening the locking nut.
Initial verdict: As my ride is on soft suspension setup for daily drive; during high speeds turns, it tends to "wobbles" slightly. After installing the traction bar, the "wobbles" are eliminated and the car more controlled during corners. This is before I did a proper wheel alignment
