My Spohn bar is tight on shock clearance. I noticed the BMR has an additional bend in that area...FWIW.

Personally, I don't think I'd be happy with the Wolfe or any rigid mount bar unless it's a track only car. For the track, I imagine a bar like the Wolfe would kick ***.

I had a spohn on my last car and I agree on the shock clearance. I went with a BMR on the new car I'm putting together, the BMR is a nice piece.

I have gone 1.23 60' foots (8.90s @ 152) leaving flat as can be with the Spohn drag bar, I'm sure some have been quicker on a BMR/Spohn bar as well - they work. Only downside is they are heavy, but that weight isnt in a bad place..

the fabricated 9 inch i offer has the option of a lightweight, tubular chromemoly bolt-on drag race style anti-roll bar that you could go from stock to race and back to stock within minutes. check out some pictures in the gears and axles section in the Midwest Chassis 9 inch rearend threads. it is a proven working component, all high quality parts with easy adjustments.

What's the weight of your bar with the links, etc?

There are so many options, I think ill end up getting the single wolfe ! It sounds like a great track bar with superb street manners. Hope it can withstand these midwest winters though !

Thanks for that pic... No a question about it, if you don't mind.

Does that cross bar rotate on a inner bar or is it fixed in place? I'm just trying to figure out how it works.

I had a BMR drag roll bar and really wanted to install it, had to put it up for sale since i need a drive shaft (mine was too short). Im sure i'll be in the market for another one.. does anyone daily drive with these? was it really that much road noise compared to stock? Im sure you can barely tell anyways with these 400+hp cars but just curious..

Sorry to hear about having to sell your drag bar before being able to install it.

To answer your question with our bar it really doesn't make much additional noise at all.

Just keep the rod ends adjusted tight,clean and well lubricated it makes all the difference in the world.

As far as handling goes it is going to make the car understeer which is not the end of the world but will require some additional attention to driving while on the street
