Guy's who are running "Race" rear sway bars

I am thinking of getting a Race sway bar for the rear and was wondering if you guys picked up any 60ft from this? And if the car drives better down the track and street?



Thanks Sean

Until I finally installed a 9" with ladder bars I used a factory rear sway bar.

Using the sway bar will help keep the right wheel on the ground since when that side of the diff wants to rise up, the bar attached to the other side will force it back down.

The only real difference with a race ready bar is that it might be adjustable so that you can set how much preload you put on the bar. A factory bar can be modified to do the same thing.

Here is a Old Post I had a while back. I didn't get much info on what people thougth. I planed to put a adj. setup on my stock sway bar, but winter came and I kinda took a break. I need to get the car to 60ft the same everytime now.


Thanks Sean

I run the BMR bar as well. Cant tell you how much it picked up, as I did a lot of things at the same time. Does make the car handle a little wacky and the endlinks (on mine anyways) rattle quite a bit. But I like it.

I think I will give my idea a try, what can it hurt. I will keep you guys posted, but it will be late April before I run my car at the track.
