For those of you that have the BMR one, do you have to use the supplied saddle brackets or can you use the factory ones on the rearend? It's going to suck if I have to cut those off my brand new rear.

I have the spohn bar w/ bmr sway bar brackets welded to the axel tubes on my 12 bolt. You don't have to use the the saddle brackets.

I just cut my stockers off of my 9" to mount the new sphoon unit.

See how the **** points to the rotor, i dont know how yours point forward??


Well I just talked to Steve @ Sphoon and he said the Moser 9" has the shock mounts a little close together vs the stock rear end.I will take a few pics tomarrow so everyone can see the clearance I have.

If it does'nt move L or R it will be fine I think.

The BMR ones you have to weld on. I also have strange double adjustable shocks too, and it looks like it's going to be really tight fit.

Just an FYI for those that dont know, the third gen irocs and ws6's came stock with a 24MM rear sway bar. One of my buddies had one laying around so I replaced may stocker with it, and a new set of poly endlings and bushings. I have not had the car back to the track, but just driving around I can tell a big difference between the 2 bars. This is by far the cheapest option for a upgraded sway bar.

ok I'm going to be ordering a 9" soon and I alrady have the spohn pro drag bar(not installed. Should I order the rear with the stock sway bar mounts or are they going to be in the way of the spohn brackets??? I'd like to weld the spohn brackets in if possible, what do you think??

To those with weld-in sway-bars, what do you do, to them, so you can drive them on the street?? Do you run any type of gussets from the rearend to the swaybar or HD TIG welding or what??

My Spohn was a simple bolt-on to my S60. No clearnace issues. Stock shocks and springs though.

No front sway bar .. the Spohn really keeps the car level now. No sway or dips. Doesn't seem to rough to me .. railroad tracks, uneven pavement etc. All's good

It's been too long and too may mods to even know what a stock car feels like anymore ..lol

Greg put it on and the qa1s and hal springs and thats the night she went on the bumper for the 1st time at Lakeland.

I installed a Wolf sway bar on my car this winter. I have driving the car around a few time on the street in the last week, and WOW I can tell a huge difference.

The only negitive to this bar is it feels like im driving a bumper car. Every little bump feels like a pot hole. Im sure the other drag bars have a similar feeling.
