I got my j's etd, strut bar about a month ago. Right after putting it on i let the car get to temp, pulled out, ran out first and slammed it into second... Just then i could already tell the difference in the power transfer. I always had to shift slow into second when i ran first out before... And now i full throttle shift. It's awesome.

THats just me though. To each his own.

Will this help with Launching as well? Because when i do slam into 2nd, i'm wheel hopping sometimes, or other times i'm just spinning tires. I think the tires just suck but still.

Yeah it has helped mine, I normally don't wheel hop at all. You might want to check out your diff mounts also though if it's wheel hopping that bad.

I noticed the difference with my Spoon ETD. There was definitely less of a delay when I would modulate the throttle at the track and auto-x.

The concept behind them seems to work. I have yet to experience it but would love looking into this.

YOUR TELLING ME!!!

The deal that i had was when i first purchased them was originally i had some other brand on there but they didnt have the full set at the time and told me that they were gonna put the hancooks on there and told me they were better anyways..

Well i dont know much about the tires and they were gonna be the same price, so i was like, what the hell...

Yeah.. what the hell did i buy right? Welp. I have Great success in the Eagle F1's so i'mma have to stick to those.

Sorry, but both tires are hardly what I would consider a high performance tires. There are soo many more tires choices out there that offer much better grip. I personally prefer the Bridgestone RE-01R's.
