imagin if i could have reached my foot to the floor. lol
i get in there and cant see ****, and have to hold onto the wheel cuz if i sit back, i cant hit the gas. that makes for a hard on the arms ride. lol

jay, it does need one, but with the suspention the way i did it and b-man being heavier then me, it looks worse, but it does need a bar, he is running the stock one. lol
esp going to need one with the new converter!!!!

There's plenty of choices for bars that you can go with. Your car, I'd say the one that Brad is running is probably the way to go, that or the BMR extreme one, or the chassis style one that Spohn makes. I have a spohn one on my car, that is a solid 1 inch chromoly bar, it is the stiffest stock style sway bar that you can buy that doesn't require weld on mounts, and has regular style end links on it. It is very streetable, and made my car go strait as an arrow. Before on the street, with just boltons, the car would be all over the road in first and 1/2 of 2nd, with this bar on the car it takes off dead strait on the street, much more stable and no dancing around at all, car feels much more stable under power. Not sure how much it helped at the track, because it went on with alot of other stuff, but after being for a ride in chef's car with stock front and rear bars on last summer, and mine with no front bar and this stiff rear one, it's alot differnent.. my car just goes when I get on it, his car was like mine before it, likes to dance around alot. Another good part about the one I have is that it is stiff enough to preload some, and probably could be put on with a set of jack stands in about an hour.. so it's an easy change. No matter what you go with, it's gonna be an imporvment over last year.

The only way I'd say run anything other then what Brad has on his car is if you drive yours around some still.. the one I'm using is a streetable part, the soild bar, is, but not as friendly.

yeah yeah.. I know LOL. I'll eventually change mine out to one like you are running I'm sure.... first time someone tells me my car is leaving like the pic of you driving Boris's car.. I'll be swapping it. I think the one i'm runnign is probably stiff enough to get me pretty far before I need ot replace it tho.

I saw a picture of a GN in GM HIGH TECH a few weeks ago that looked like it was going to twist in half. Lots of power though.
