Default ARB 60' times

Guys that installed a anti roll bar in their car did you notice an improvement in et and 60' time, from the bar alone?

No improvement in 60's per say but the car definitely feels like it's leaving straighter and more predictably.

Usually when a car gets into the mid 11's is when it has enough hp to twist the rear end in the launch. The rear end as power is applied wants to plant the drivers side tire into the ground, while the pass rear tire wants to lift, making it loose traction. The arb will plant both tires evenly, because it keeps the rear and chassie tied together, instead of letting it roll over.

I didn't see any difference in ET. The benefits were that it left more even and was more consistent off the line. Also my reactions times sped up a little.

I just put one on, haven't ran it yet, but was hoping for some improvement in 60' and ET.
My car left all twisted up with a 1.38. Hoping for atlease a low 1.30.

Well, got a chance to run the car with my MWC drag bar.
1.31, 1.32 60's. Both wheels now pull the same in the air, no more twist.
Also ET improved from a 10.11 to a 9.92. That was helped also by a new valve body.
This MWC drag bar is the ticket!

I'm going to be ordering one soon. Did you go with the bolt-in or weld on kit? Have you noticed an increase in suspension noise transferring through the car while driving around?

I went with the bolt in, I can't weld. You can always go back and weld them.
The bolt in brackets are very nice, alittle bigger than the weld in, but you know actually where they go.
As far as drivability, I don't drive my car on the street. I have a spool and no ps, car is loud and vibrates like hell. So I didn't notice anything new.
This drag bar is one of the best mods I made, and believe me I have made a many.

BMR extreme here, went from 1.47 to 1.43. The ARB will also help the rear tires wear evenly

When I put my anti-roll bar on, the biggest difference I noticed was the car launched much straighter and in the launch pictures both fronts were up evenly about a foot as opposed to the driver side hiked up and the pass side just barely leaving the ground. Also with DR's traction hasn't been an issue since. Definitely a must for cars that have the potential to leave with a 1.6 or faster..

I love my Spohn drag bar. It came on my rear when I bought it, so I got lucky I guess. But last time I cut a 1.25 sixty foot, and ended up doing this. lol

P.S. Let me tell you how good it feels that with the drag bar and a spool in the rear end, to know that when the wheels are in the air, the car is most likely going STRAIGHT!

The MWC anti-roll complete package is 7 pounds... lightest on the market and most effective with our 90 degree arm design.
