1st pass was on motor, went a new PB with some nice cool weather down here in FL
1.58 60'
7.59 1/8
88 mph
12.02 1/4
110.79
Sway bar is doing its job so far. Time to put it to the test and spray a 150 shot out of the hole.
Light goes green, launch, hook....Boom!
DAMN YOU ALL that said the 10 bolt was going to break. lol
Oh well, **** happens. This car has been 1.49 a couple times and many many low 1.52-1.54 passes on ET streets so I can't complain. It's not like it's a big shocker. I knew I was on borrowed time. At least I went a new personal best in every area on motor before I sprayed it and broke

Maybe you guys can help me out. I have the same bar on my car as it was on it when i bought it. It makes a TON of noise though and i have been messing around to try to quiet it down. I know its not gonna be silent since it is rod end mounted but i know its gotta be able to be better than it is because it drives me crazy. I replaced the rod ends with new QA1 teflon-lined chromoly ones which had it quiet for a few hundred miles but that was about it. The rod ends are adjusted almost all the way into the links. Do I need to make the links longer? About how long should they be for a stock ride height car? Should the links be on the inside or the outside of the sway bar? Where should there and shouldn't there be washers? Would mis-alignment washers be a good idea?
Thanks for the help!

just a few questions for you or BMR.
Why didn't you have the billet sway bar mounts?
Is the size between the mounting holes on the bracket the same on ALL sway car designs? Meaning I have BMR swaybars and the mounting bracket is welded on so the holes are there but if I buy the X-treme with the billet mounts will it just bolt up? Minus the body weld on mounts.
Thanks
