That's a pretty mature statement coming from a high and might LS1Tech moderator. Isn't your job to post something more along the lines of what Jason did?

Like I said congrats and the car moves out. Were you at the first RSD? I could swear that car was sitting next to me in the staging lanes????
Chris Ill look into that drag bar and see if its legal, Im not that worried about street manners. If I was the car would have a front sway bar. Its road noise I cant stand

To the rest of you guys, you had me rolling reading your coments towards 96. Thanks!!!
Mike, that bar mounts same as stock, except for the end links.....they're definitely stronger and do the job better. Best part is it should bolt right up to the 60 you got....it did with the 9" we had in the car. Biggest thing would be making sure it qualifies for the shootout, Which I don't think it wouldn't though.

Better check again, Ray just posted over on the shootout forum sayin that it is NOT legal because it uses solid end links rather than poly....

Personally the solid endlinks shouldn't matter. with an Anti-Roll bar you can preload each side individually by where you put the arms at. Therefore you can add torsional rigidity, helpiing the launch of the car and keeping the front tires level. While the Spohn Drag Bar does similar it is not rigid between the axle and the bar, like the Anti-roll bars are. With the spohn bar, there is a little flexing that can take place because of the poly in-between the bar and the axle. I think that's where the biggest differences are and that should qualify it to work, since the stock bar works the same way......but that's me and I have no real say....

Mike if they say you can't use it that way, put it on with Poly end links and it'll do the same thing......
