im looking to be in the 1.5 range next time out. a high 1.5 atleast im hoping. the endlinks broke off on my stocker last time out so that usually means its time to upgrade.

for a reasonably priced one that drives decent, go with that spohn drag bar, its around 375 and guys are going 1.35 60' on it. the solid billingsley and wolfe are for race cars or guys that are extremely hardcore.

the stocker will handle 1.5 60' no problem. i went 1.47 on my stocker last year.

I just went with the Spohn drag bar. It's a stock style bar but it's HUGE. I cut 60's in the low 1.4's and the the stock bar was letting my car take me to the right hard.
The bar is intalled but I haven't ran the car yet with it. Not for another week.

i ran a stock one to 1.40 60 fts... but the car left very uneven. and at the big end when i get off the thorttle it would sway side to side alittle.

i put on the spoohn, it leaves dead straight.. alot more stable down the track. it was a very nice piece easy to adjust and all

i was thinking about the 25mm spohn beings this car doesnt get much track time. is that worth the time or should i just wait and spend the big bucks for the 1 1/2 one?
