Take a look at these pics, first one in middle on top row is of the first round where I spun a little, she twisted really bad, second one in middle of second row is second round where she hooked dead nuts, but you can see she's still twisting right a little. What kind of adjustments should I make too get her to not twist like that, which way would I adjust the swaybar to compensate or should I add a click or two to the right rear shock?

you could probably tighten up that other shock, or preload the swaybar a little. i would highly suggest a Wolfe Swaybar though for your setup. from the ETs in your sig i'd say the wolfe would help a ton. probably knock some out of the 60' not to mention stabilize the car going down the track.

the only thing you have to do with the wolfe bar is avoid having the car in akward positions where the chasis is twisting. i know TONS of people who street drive their wolfe bar'd car, myself included.

yes, just unhook the rod ends and drive that hoe daily. Scott had his unhooked when i first meet him and he was driving it all over the place. i didn't know until then that you could unhook it.

He has a 1.3 60' time. I really doubt changing to the wolfe would make a big difference. I have the same bmr bar and my car doesn't twist at all.

You said ur car doesn't twist at all, did you have to preload the passenger side?

My sway bar is setup with no preload. The perosn who set my car up thinks your posi could be the cause if it is weaker to one side, or one of your control arms could be slightly longer than the other, but if you want to preload the bar make the driverside shorter. I hope that helps.
