dont buy them. they are a waste of money IMO. all you need is a good set of tires and LCA with welded relocation brackets. those bars tend to break when you wheelhop anyways.
back in the day i went 1.47 60' with just LCAs and relocation brackets (as suspension mods) on a good tire.

DO NOT BUY THOSE P.O.S! i bought those for my car along time ago and it caused my car to wheel hop when doing burnouts just to heat the tires. i broke the adjustable links on both of them 2x's even after i upgraded the links. they do nothing but bind the suspension imo.
relocation brackets and a set of box or tubed lca's is the way to go.

Here is a picture of the weld in relocation brackets and the bolt in relocation brackets. They lower the rear mounting point of the lower control arm on the rear end and by doing that you are adding more positive anti-squat to the car which help with overall traction and launching the car.

Those, an airbag in the RR, and QA-1s. Problem solved.
