Default Spohn drag bar WORKS!

Finally hooked straight with slicks off the transbrake. This guy at the track came up to me after the run and told me my front wheels were nearly 3 feet in the air!
Spohn gets my thumbs UP!

Where you having problems hooking before or just coming off the line crooked? I think my car could use a drag bar.

I was hooking but the car was taking me to the right hard.
The 60' wasn't that great on that run (1.50)-I contribute that to the weather this time of year and also I kinda deep staged on that run cause when I activated the transbrake it rolled me foward and the 2nd bulbs were flickering. I've run 1.41 with the stock swaybar but that was on the footbrake and in great air conditions.

1.35 for me (of course it's the whole package and not just one part), and 1.28 or 1.29 for Magnus.
