I just picked up a Wolfe, the quality is great. The man does have the fastest drag radial car around so I dont think you can go wrong with anything from Wolfe...

This will be my next mod. I have a friend that just installed a Wolfe and he loves it. He took the front sway bar off and he said it feels very stable.

spohn and BMR extreme are the most popular for street-able cars.

teh wolfe is hands down the best for all out racing

i just went through the same thing you are now. i talked to as many people w/different bars as i could and i was told the wolf is great,but for a street car like mine(and yours) the wolf will be noisy and can tear up the car on street driving. i went with the BMR unit,it's nice,easy to adjust and it's quiet as stock. it does make the car alittle stiffer on the corners which is good because i have no front sway on. in a few weeks i'm going back to the track for some testing. goodluck to ya.

I am running the BMR and I would say that it is a nice piece. I wanted the best for the track, but still wanted it to be streetable. Fully adjustable and not too bad on the street. I would say that it is just a brand preference between BMR & spohn units.

I went with the spohn beacuse of how easy it was to install. The wolf will take a lot of work compared to a spohn or BMR

spohn has a stock style that si 1 inch in dia, and is still enoughto preload the car some. I put one on my car when the rear went in, car drives fine on the street with it and the car leaves nice and level. Not sure how it's gonna like over 100 more rwhp, but I'll know soon enough.

Aww ****. Thats when you know your crossing the line between street and strip.


Todd, I'm in the same boat. I have the stocker on there and I know it's not really doing **** with the 9" in there.

I'm leaning towards the sphoon as my other parts are sphoon. And it's a bolt in.

But wolf would be my next choice.

Someone post up pics if they have just put one or the other on.

Tony, throw a Wolfe bar on the car, and just unhook the rod ends where they connect to the body if you are going to be doing a lot of street driving, takes about 3 minutes or less. and throw a bigger cam in that hoe and run a 9.
