Tomei Hicas Lock Kit

[SkyDragon]

I am wanting to know the results and opinions on those who have this installed. I am considering one as my 33 has very snappy tail at traction loss, I was told this will solve/help this issue? Making it much more controlable at traction loss.

Yes I have searched the forums and there are plenty of threads on the installation of these but not the results!!

Ok, I'm pretty clueless with mechanics but why would a Tomei or another HICAS lock kit help with this?

I've just installed a lock-bar from ebay ($90) in order to make or more predictable at loss of traction, not to help it from losing traction.

There are suspension changes you can make to prevent to make a car less tail happy...

Also which R33 are you driving?

There's plenty of information on suspension settings in this forum, in particular look for posts by "SydneyKid"

No my intenion is not to assist traction, but to make drivability more predictable at traction loss. When i loose traction at certain RPM/speed the slightest movement of the wheel can send the car outta control. The rear steering feels much too sensitive, thats what i am trying to solve.

Anyway how was your lockbar? What differences did you notice?

I have a 33 S2 GTST with Bilstein suspension and sway bars all the way around. These work great, the car is very solid and direct in handling, just the control at traction loss is terrible.

I would go for one if you are making decent numbers. I think HICAS is a bit dangerious at speed & with wheel spin. I find it locked to be fairly predictable with the back end. But this depends on your suspension set up to start with including AWD v's RWD. RWD may be different, certianly think it helps with AWD

I say, lock it.
