I laugh at all of these pissing matches that all of these sponsors get into. The big three here are ALWAYS spending way too much time pitching there stuff on here. I cant say I blame them because if one does it they all have to do it but just about every thread is too much!

How about for one week you guys let your customers talk up your products!

Yeah that's crazy that a sponsor would advertise a product on a forum that requires you to pay for a sponsorship. What nerve they have! <-----------Sarcasm...

I will add that that car had the mounts welded to the axle tube. We suggest that be done after a certain level.

I don't beleive ya. You should send me one and trade it for the old design one on my car now

I also run a drag setup on my car full time with the front sway bar removed. I have been driving my car like this for 3 or more years without any issues.

For a nice weather, street strip car that's making any power, I would say go for it.

I have Spohn's Drag bar on mine and drive it on the street occasionally, but definitely listen to the recommendations above.

Nope, sorry it is chromoly or CRMO as in alloying elements from chromium and molybdenum.

Custom Anti-Roll here, not sure how light, but it's been 1.29 on the back tires on 275's and I drive mine on the street!

It does like to let me know it's there going into my driveway, but I think the spool, 25psi of air, manual steering and solid rod ended suspension plays a big part in that too!

That's a racers abbreviation for the material unless the American Welding Society, Miller Welders, or Lincoln Welders are all spelling it wrong. Feel free to look at these references and tell me I'm incorrect. Furthermore, when I order material from any company they all spell it that way.

Oh ... so that means NHRA, SAE, ASTM and API all must use the "racers abbreviation”. Damn, and you are throwing out reference links? I think we all know what was meant by the original post and I will concede that there are two acceptable ways of referring to CrMo …

... anyway OP …. I see no reason not to run a drag bar on the street as long as you understand the handling characteristics of driving with one.
