Re: Anti Roll Bar ?

I'm guessing that you are referring to a sway bar correct?

I'm unfamiliar with the DM anti roll bar but if you watch the parts board you should be able to come up with a stock sway bar that will work just as well.

Just my $.02... if I'm way off, disregard this post.

Re: Anti Roll Bar ?

That is more of a drag type bar and would be noisy on the street. You would be better off with a stock type rear bar, unless you building a drag truck. If you are building a drag truck it would help your 60ft. time alot.

Re: Anti Roll Bar ?

That is a rear bar, be aware that you really need to have a sway bar in the front long before you consider one out back. A rear bar will give you a "push" in the front w/o one in front to balance it out.

That's true with stock type bars.

If he is in fact building a track car, there's no need to run a front bar. No front bar = better weight transfer, plus the rear drag bars will tighten up the the car more then just a stock rear bar.

By no means is the a corner carving combo. lol.

If you want somthing the handles better yeah you would want to do the front bar befor the rear.

Point taken, but with such a vague/general question, you kinda have to give answers that will help the most people or "average" guy at least.

If this really was about racing......there is another forum for that
