Who has them? Where can I find out information on them?

 

PM "95Bird" and ask Tim. He runs these and can point you in the right direction with the set up.
Steve...

 

Excellent pieces, once you get them adjusted you won't need to touch them again. Appletree Enterprises in NY makes them.
Be sure you have the car sitting level and with the drivers weight in place when you adjust the links.

 

can i get an explanation of what u are talking about? i have no clue

What do you need to know. When set up correctly they work great. They ar STIFF if you want to take tht sucka on the street and leave them hooked up. Stock elem guys run them and you see what they do with em. I would talk to someone like madman or the people who sell them on how to set them up corectly. Also..with the advances in suspension technology(madman, bmr) I think you can hook just has hard with some of the very high end torque arm setups...which you still have to run some kind of torque arm(stock with mods) with the z-bar setup.

Ask away and I will try to answer your questions.

 

i just had no idea what Pete Zbars were, now i see what you are speaking of

 

and who did you get your from any links or numbers

i also have a sphon TA on the car right now

 

I have them ready to ship. Call Thunder Racing and ask for Paul he will hook you up.

 

I got mine from madman. This is the guy you need to get them from so he can tell you what you need to do to make em work. Just do what he said above and he can help ya out.

 

I got mine directly from Pete. His shop number is: 1-315-483-6412.

 

Reviving an old thread.
Are people still using these?
It was suggested to me a few weeks back, and I just now got around to looking into them.

 

I haven't seen these before (you learn something new every day) and they look very mechanically sound. However, if you already have an adjustable torque arm (i.e. Spohn) I wonder how much they will help on the launch (with both)? Who is running both and how do they work?

I'm pulling mine off to setup up for a narrowed rear end and minni-tubed setup. yes, people still use them. I used them with a bmr extreme bar and went a best of 1.42 in a 6 speed. that was boggin also. I know the car had a 1.3x in it. Very nice setup. If anyone is looking for this pm me..mine should be coming off this week.

 

I have a homemade set just like them sort of.

The biggest difference is the connection on the rear, I have 1/4" tabs that are welded to the rear section.

What's nice is no more rear sway bar and no more right side air bags. The car is what you called preloaded. Just ignore the sway bar in the pics, I did not remove it yet. This is when I just got the bars in place.

To set the preload on the rear is you looseing the rear up (includes shocks), set the driver in the driver seat and adjust the bars so they are not binded up. You do this by turning the bars clock wise or counter clock wise. Once you have done this connect the rear shocks back up and take it to the track. Once to the track practice you launches and adjust the bars when needed. You might have to make some adjustments to the bars once at the track but most of the time this will get you in the ballpark.

 

Nice setup Ken
I heard someone refer to that as a "4-link"
