i don't see what traction bars have to do with the motor mount, so i would say it should be fine. haven't heard too many reviews about the traction bars yet, i'm considering buying them also.

seem to be good, you just have to dial them in and lube them up so they won't squeak

Just adjust them right. It takes a while. I use them.

I think they blow.

I had the latest bwoody design with the rubber bushings that "reduce noise". When I was completely stock the bars worked well. I had them dialed in to the point where I had very little wheel hop. But no matter how often I greased them they still squeaked and creaked like a cheap hotel box spring and mattress. Its very embarrassing....

Once I got GMS2 installed they became completely worthless. I spent hours adjusting and re-adjusting the t-bars. No matter what I tried they didn't work. Sure they "reduced" wheel hop but never got close to reducing it to the level I had when I was stock. So I ended up getting rid of them and buying SMMs.

The top mount is from Turbo Tech Racing and the trans mounts are from ZZP. I have not installed them yet because its too freaken cold!! But most veteran lsj owners will tell you to skip over the traction bars and go right to solid motor mounts.

I shy away from solid motor mounts now simply because my last car was like a huge vibrating ***** of resonance at 80mph to the point I had to shout to get through to passengers sitting right next to me

had them didn't notice much difference, but I already had lower poly mounts... now I have a ttr upper mount and no bars much better for hop and cornering. I noticed installing these on my 2.2 was almost impossible even with the spacers and hardware supplied. I bent a rod I that was supposed to be full race upgrade the first two weaks driving. Sold now...
