Who runs them? What brand is everyone using? Mounting them to the frame, or in the trunk on the roll cage?


The more power I throw at the hit the more it wants to twist. I'd like to get some ideas before I try to install it. Pics would be great.

Sweet. I just ordered a team z unit. Got a pretty killer deal. But I'm thinking mounting it between the frame rails will be easiest on my mild street car.

It would be easier on the frame mounting... get one thats
wide so it controls the axle easier(they make different
widths)

I assume this is a race only car? If you street drive it, unhook one side.

I still street drive mine, I don't bother to disconnect it, and have zero problems. Now I don't hammer it through corners because I have a spool, skinnys and a arb. I built it as a street strip car that has gone more to the strip side of things.

Yeah, it's got billet steel ends. It's staying hooked up on the street forsure.

Agreed. A cheap one is useless. It needs to be substantial enough to resist twisting or flexing to work. This includes whatever it is attached to on the chassis and the mounting hardware. I've seen some flimsy junk that people call a functional anti-roll bar.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

minimum size needed to start with ? hollow or solid ? splined or welded end arms [aluminum or steel]? what material for pivot bushings ? just a few questions that have maybe been asked in the past. also, what about the width of the bar used on narrowed rears ? do you increase diameter to compensate for the bar being narrow to fit, or does the arm length need to be longer or shorter ?

I went with the smaller bar the first time... I broke
it..and changed to the larger diameter... mine came with
plastic bushings.. I machined up oil-light ones and a zert
fitting in each... the bar was splined and the arms were
fairly long but I needed the long arms to reach... that set
up works great

Get as big a one as you can afford. The big ones aren't cheap.

If I were you I would put a back brace on it..
its fairly easy to bend the tubes
EDIT
and go out to the ends.. just put a couple of holes
in it for your spring bolts... your car leaves hard
and WILL end up bending it... I've straightened a few
for guys already
