Traction Ball

Aside from Motor mounts, there's traction balls. With a big motor like the J32 and J35 we need to put the power to the ground. Have anyone tried fitting an 8th civic traction ball to the TL? When I mean this, not the stock ones found in 8th civic/RSX, but the aftermartket ones. I already have injected my stock motor mounts and they are darn solid and works well.
Giving this an idea, I'll be giving this a shot when the time comes. I have my eye on a company working on the 2012+ SI and will be giving their traction ball a shot and see it goes. But if anyone is trying, give the 8th civic a shot, I'll be going with the 9th generation civic a shot is because well... they actually has larger traction balls than the 8th.

so it's really just a solid LCA bushing. Not a bad idea, I don't think it would be too hard to make it work in our LCA's, and they seem willing to look into other models. Why can't they just call them solid LCA bushings? Traction balls? seriously?

I got a source that it fits. But I'm waiting on one that is currently in testing by them. If your an autocross guy, you should try this mod out.

At first glance I thought these...

But then I read the rest and this seems interesting. We need someone to prototype this for us and see what it can do.
