Anyone have one? This will be mounted on my '96 Z28 w/Ford 8.8 differential.

A car set up for the 1/4 mile does not need a rear sway bar because it's only going straight.

Actually, a strong rear sway bar will help the car stay flat on the launch by preventing the car from torque twisting so much. Here's a note ...

A rear drag bars is critical on high HP applications.

For drag racing.... Wolfe for a track only car, or Spohn Race Version for a street driven/track car. The Spohn is 1-5/16" solid chrome moly, and is adjusted to preload the chassis so the car will stay level and track straight on launch. Its not much use for the street.

Here's the Spohn on a 12-bolt:

Here's a Wolfe on a 9-inch:
