Default worth the money??

I just bought a 9" for my 99 TA and I was thinking on getting a spohn(spelling?) anti roll bar to put on too before racing season my car only runs mid-low 10s now with a best of 1.45 60' but that was with stock heads and 342 gears now Im 4.10s with a set of PRCs im hoping on 1.3x 60' and some low10 high 9s ...so would the anti roll ber be woth my time at this point or should I just keep my stocker?

if you're a heavy track use car it might be worth looking into something like a Wolfe anti-roll bar. the sphon is a nice piece too just not as aggressive as the Wolfe.

a Wolfe bar will help and can still be used on the street, and if you don't like how it feels on the street you can always just unhook the rod-ends while street driving, i know several people who do that.

like there is nothing there.

i think you will be happier with the spohn 1" bar since you still do a good bit of street driving & you've been running with the stock one.

You will want one if you plan to run in the 9's and be consistent. Don't buy the Wolfe peice if you plan to drive alot.. Yeah it is probably the best bar made, but it rides like ****... I have the BMR anti-roll bar and I love it.
