You might mean "Ansen Ground Grabbers" but those orange bars aren't the Ansen GG's that I'm used to seeing. They almost look like NMW Traction Bars to me. If you really wanna see something neat . . . . check out a set of Ansen Ground Grabbers for Chevelle ("A" Body) applications. They take the place of your stock lower control arms and are really big, bulky, and serious-looking. About twenty-something years ago, a friend of my brother stopped by the house in a yellow '67 Chevelle with a 406 Small Block in it. I recognized the car from my Wednesday nights at the drag strip and knew that it was a solid 12.60 car which may have been a bit much for this particular 16-17 year old driver. Anyway, during an absolutely terrifying ride in the passenger seat, (NOT the car really, but the driver), I kept hearing a "clunking" under the rear of the car. Once we safely arrived back at the house, I was kissing the pavement of the driveway happy to still be alive when I noticed those traction bars under the rear of the Chevelle and realized that those were the noise makers. It took me a long time to find out what brand they were and who made them but eventually I was able to identify them and even score a couple of sets of these Ansen Ground Grabbers. I'll try to find some pictures of them to post.
