Get the car scaled CORRECTLY with the swaybar disconnected. The car should sit level side to side with the car at race weight. Hook the swaybar up neutral and if everything is set right the car will go straight down the track. I do these cars all day long and they work with this setup. You could call me and I can set the car up over the phone.

On stick cars You usually bend those cheap 3/4" double adjusters, it's just bound to happen, I broke tons of trq arms and parts until I went and over engineered it all.. this is what I came up with... and it works, 60'd 1.42 consistantly with 430 rwhp... no broken parts since, on the torque arm at least.

MADMAN or anyone that can answer this what do you mean get the car scaled correctly? Are you talking about just setting up the height of the car front to rear, side to side, or like the weight of each corner of the vehicle?

ahh.. guess I'll have to find some 4 corner scales when I get back.. Setting up my suspension is not going to be an issue with these DA AFCO's and complete MWC suspension
