Default Spohn Rear Sway Bar.......

I ordered one, I was using a stock one before, and it shifted over to the right and smashed the turn dial on my HAL shock, so it started leaking bad, and you can't adjust it, squeaks all the time, etc, etc.......

I ordered up a Spohn sway bar, hopefully this will keep the rear stiff, and stop my car from squatting so much to the right, I'm also having a fresh HAL thrown in.......

This was hurting my 60's last time I was at the track in july, I hope to have my new setup ready for an OCT 2nd track rental

Did you get the drag bar, or the 25mm solid 4130 bar? I've been debating...

I have the 1" (25mm) Solid 4140 chrome moly sway bar. I will be installing it this weekend. Hopefully I will have some good results at Irwindale. My car buries the right rear on launches, and i'm hoping this will help it out a bit. I'll post later next week and let you guys know if it improves anything.

I have the rear drag bar from Spohn, and the car drives like stock and the bar makes little to zero noise on the street.

No that's the beefy OEM style swaybar. Drag bar is more than that.
