Wow! Tough crowd.
Seems like the knowledgeable ones that left were quickly backfilled.
Can't a guy post something he found works for his combo.
The way I see it, slabberbars redirect energy like a 4-link but need to be the length to which they hit under the springeye. Caltracs do it, but with the enhancement of its patented design. Otherwise, I'm sure his stock springs would wrap-up as he has mentioned.
I guess we all have to justify our money spent and how ours works for us.
Smart guy .The key to getting the slapper bars to work is getting them directly under the spring eye as you mentioned.Also setting the preload plays a big part in how they work or dont work .I made different thickness shims out of some round aluminum stock (i got for free)that i drilled a hole in the center of.I put them between the bars and the snubbers to set the preload.A pinion snubber would control spring rap ,but i like the bars because it applies the upward force a bit further foward and as i mentioned you can fine tune it side to side which is why my car lifts the front evenly on each side ,instead of leaning to one side when it hits.The bars that im using are old Competion type with the spring plates made to them and are heavy wall tubing.They are not the cheap ones that clamp to the springs.The springs are worn on my car and i know that ,and im sure sum new s/s springs would do they same thing ,but this way works well to and its easier to tune them IMO and i dont even need a wrench to do it at the track .Thanks for the support also  ...
