I am not sure about anyone making them for the tC...yet

Upgrading your suspension via sway bars, springs and shocks or coilovers, and making sure that your camber angle is correct will help. But, tires are ultimately where the traction is found.

You can have the best suspension set up in the world, but if you are running bald tires all that will do you no good.

I have a friend thatr found traction bars made specially for the TC

he has them oredered for his hyundai tiburon !

the feeling of the car and acceleration becomes just like a four wheel dirve car. Even in snow you will expereice great handling,

I will call him and ask for the website that makes them for the TC

i am concidering purchasing them

If your trying to find a traction bar for a FWD your SOL. Traction bars are for vehicles with a leaf-spring suspension, they use the torsion produced by the axle to prevent the RWD from tucking due to heavy acceleration. That is when you see RWD cars "pop-up" in the back on launch.
