Default WOLFE sway bar

Tried a search.


How many of you run the WOLFE rear sway bar on the street?

I am going towards Moser 9 inch with full spool. MADMAN offset LCA's, MADMAN PHR, MADMAN TQ arm, AFCO coil overs. Looking at a WOLFE rear sway bar.

Car gets 1,000 or less miles a year.

I don't whip around corners hard or anything and the spool will help keep me from doing that and breaking the sway bar links.

Thoughts?

Mines works well on the street. Car always hooks and goes straight at the track.

Looks like you are building a stout set-up. Don't drive mine on the street, but if you are racing the car a lot, your set-up will be kick ***.

if you don't like it on the street (1000 miles no reason you wouldn't) you can always just take two bolts out and unhook it while not at the track.

I drive mine on the street and I think it works out good. I am cautious about taking turns fast. But I think its an even trade IMO its the best rear sway bar out there every car I see use one always pulls nice level wheelies.

Mine works OK. You have to be careful when entering steep driveways as it will lift a rear wheel off the ground or bottom the front corner.

Cornering is pretty good, but if you really get into a fast turn it will unload the inside tire & cause it to oversteer. Driving it like a normal car & you will have no problem. Act like you are roadracing a Z28 or Vette in the turns & it can get you into trouble.

Thanks for all the input, forgot about those two bolts.

Yeah, you could say Im building a little sumthin....

Looks like I am doing a WOLFE mini tub also and have the rear narrowed when its orderd.

I know two really good welders that put my cage in that will hook me up on the welding again

I am going with the below one.

WOLFE says 8.40's and faster should use the double adjustable.

You never broke any bolts or rod ends in that time?
I don't care about noise but I don't wanna be breakin bolts or anything from hitting a decent bump in the road.
