I saw these traction bars on the trinitysmustangs.com

-http://www.trinitysmustangs.com/images/1967ShelbyGT500-(43).jpg

Are they the Competition Engineering ones that allow preloading?
Does anyone have them? Are they better than the Shelby style ones?
I am looking for better traction and a rear coil-over is out of the question.

Cat-Tracs or Comp Engineering traction bars are one of the best traction upgrades you can make.

Cal-tracs work great.
They really do "bite" when put in use.
