i won't be puchasing one of these til next tax season, but can you answer my question please?
does the drag bar basically cancel out the benefit of the strano bars due to the stiffness? i'm not a corner carver but i do like an all purpose fun car with ET's not being a priority...

You can use the ARB as a sway bar on the street as well, but I cannot promise it will have a good "balance" with a front Strano bar if you are looking for tuned handling. Our ARB is made of 4130N cm tubing and uses straight arms which result in immediate response compared to a bar that has multiple bends. Best thing is it is 20 pounds lighter than any of the solid bar setups. Our setup is a full bolt on and could easily be switched out easily if you wanted to run the Strano rear bar on the streets and then our ARB at the strip.

thank you for the response. that sounds awesome too me...to be able to make the switch when heading to the strip. is this the same ARB that has it's own designated tabs on the rear end or will i have to completely swap rear sway bars? If you have any pics can you please post (when you get a chance) so i can get a more clear picture. thank you

That is true. I wouldnt install my first 9 inch until the car was unable to move under its own power. That 10 bolt didnt last long

sounds good... but at this time of the year I suggest to at least get your order in a even just a 500.00 deposit to get the ball rolling.

You guys need to stop ordering all these bad *** rear ends, so that Eric has time to do some upgrades on our chassis!!! But on a serious note, this is THE best rear end out there. The craftsmanship and support is top notch!

I'm not sure if this is a silly question or not but I have brand new 31 spline stock length Moser axels, would they be the same in a stock length rear end for yours?

assuming they were setup for their stamped style 9 inch for the 93-02 f-body car, it is possible, but depends on the diff unit you plan to use. there are different lengths required for some, and Moser did cheat the pinion center over to the passenger side 1/2 inch so that makes a difference as well being my design has the pinion in stock location. measure them and give us a call and we can get you setup.

Man... You guys are making it increasingly tougher to pass up buying this rearend...
I might sell off my 10bolt and UMI torque arm and just go this route.
The torque arm been the deal breaker all along for me.

For what you get out of selling your used torque arm it is almost a wash to the price we sell ours with our package deal.

I been looking at the pics of your car, looks great man.

As for shop space, well that is a hole other question. We have six customers f-body's here right not getting a mini tub or cage or a combination of the two, a 69 Camaro getting headers and wheelie bars, and you can say a few housings in different stages getting built or shipped out daily.

Well I hope you can squeeze us in this weekend. This is the only weekend we are able to get down there. We defiantly need that stuff done, and unfortunately we have a VERY tight schedule this year. So that means Ill see ya Saturday!
