I am installing lakewood no-hop bars in mine.

why does a coil spring suspension need traction bars?...if the wheels are hoping it's a problem with the tires and/or shcks.

^^yep. With those control arms from Savitske and new bushings you should be fine

"Many factory suspensions, such as the '78-88 GM G-body (Chevy Monte Carlo and Malibu, Buick Regal, Pontiac Grand Prix, and Olds Cutlass) and Fox-body Mustangs, suffer from severe roll bind. This can manifest itself as snap oversteer, or an unexpected transition from understeer to oversteer. The use of Heim joints or urethane bushings goes a long way toward rectifying this trait, and is far more obvious in OEM triangulated four-links than in aftermarket designs with non-deflecting spherical rod joints or urethane bushings."

I was giving an article on the 4 link. In that article he'll find info about traction bars for leaf suspension and control arms
