Default Anti Roll Bar such as Wolfe-Streetable?

ran across a good deal on a Burkhart rear but it comes with the anto roll sway bar alot like the Wolfe one... i do drive the car a decent amount and track it about the same. it is not daily driven anymore. but if i drive it on the street what problems will i run into with it? should i just stay away from a sway bar like this and go with the spohn or bmr type?

thanks

You should be fine, as long as you're not trying to corner carve with the car there wont be a problem.

I'm not sure how stiff the wolfe bar is, but a stiffer rear bar will decrease body roll but also increase oversteer. The result of not allowing the sprung weight of the body to roll to the side is the wheels get more lateral force breaking traction a lot quicker.

I have heard that it can be noisy, as well as alot of people disconnect one of the sides so it can articulate when parked at angles.

I used to have an 1997 Cobra that I ran the whole Wolfe rear end suspension kit on including anti roll bar, it wasn't my DD but I did drive it on the street. The car hooked like a bastard I loved it, but it was a little bit noisy which didn't bother me for the way the thing left.

What's this thing look like and what kind of endlinks does it have? I've tried to find a picture of the Wolfe bar in the past, but wasn't able to find anything.

I've got a MWC ARB like the Wolfe one. It's makes some noise but nothing the radio can't fix. It's really only noticeable when the car is going over bumps at an angle like turning into a lot with a curb.
