Well, other than the fact that they don't include directions yet...the installation was very straight forward.

the bar still hit the 9" a little so I notched the torque arm mounting tube welded to the housing...problem solved <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

As for drivability...hmmm...its stiff LOL Car has absolutely no roll now - even with no front swaybar <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> I layed into it with GSCs and it wheelhopped a little like it was actually pushing BOTH tires down to the ground...it was trying to hook in first gear with 4.71s <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Once I get some of my other suspension gremlins solved (blown hal shock, DS vibration, etc) I'll see how it hooks on hoosiers now <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

awesome fireball! If you come up with any breakthroughs on the preload let me know. Hopefully in a couple weeks I can really lay the test whammy to it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I think I figured out my wheelhop (in theory at least)...my rear hals are set rather stiff...not good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I'll soften them up and try again <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Pain...you bet...but it'll be a few weeks till I race it (have other issues with the car right now: blown hal shock up front, out of balance driveshaft vibration, etc)

Would it matter from track to track as far as the pre-loading of the rear bar?? I too would be very interested in what you adjust the bar at.

I think there would be some adjustment required depending on the track...but once you get it loading evenly, it should be "close" enough to not worry <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

awe there the bmr pics are! I think I will buy the bmr extreme rather than the wolfe!
