As weird as it sounds, my stock motor car has one (Spohn version though). It came with the rest of the suspension. I'll let you know the difference between stock parts with kyb shocks to fully adj. with QA1's after tomorrow. Although I'll have a DR on it tomorrow as opposed to a street tire.

Badhawk, those pictures put me over the edge. I love watching your car launch. Someday I hope to be side by side with your car at the shootout. So I'm adding the antiroll bar to my list of mods this winter. Thanks everyone, thanks for talking me into to it and spending more money!

Thanks, I hope to see you there and once you start to 60ft in the 1.4's or better the higher it goes.

But it did do a best of 1.39 for 2 passes then the rearend shattered several teeth on the ring and pinion. Clutch pack was toast but it wasnt til I drove 86 miles back home did I inspect it.
I then never put the stock sway bar back on and installed a solid 25mm bar.
I had another car that was doing mid 1.4x all day long and did over 100 passes on that stock setup and had 0 issues.

Jeff, I did that for over 50 passes on that setup.

Wow, I guess there are a few exceptions but definitely not the norm.

You can buy a 3rd gen WS6/1LE 24mm sway bar for next to nothing on ebay. (~$40). Not that it would be enough but just a thought. I know I'm only cutting 1.62 sixtys on slicks but my third gen leaves very evenly...much better than it did with the puny V6 stocker.

I've got enough of that to deal with running the spooled 12 bolt....getting tired of it in a true daily driver. It's extremely loud and clunky and generally ill mannered, but at least I haven't had to worry about spitting out gear teeth in the lil 7.5". Going to a posi and some new gears soon. Do you think the 24mm third gen rear sway bar will be a good compromise upgrade for a dd car?
