You can have your cake and eat it too if you start with a sprung combo, and if it isn't up to the task replace the springs with a piece of tubing. 8..603 156 mph best, 2905 lbs 549, indy 572-13, alky

Ideally if adjusted right, the car never touches the bars and they are there to handle those times when the car is making just a little more power (mineshaft air) and might get up on them. I'm in the process of taking front end travel away to slow down how quickly my car gets up on the bars. 60' times keep dropping as I reduce the wheelie.

Put the sprung wheelie bars next to the 1980 folding lawn chairs.( they work like crap and are junk after the first use ) Any one running a 44" Spring wheelie bar should have there head examined. Go solid,, and at least you have repeatability and something that can actual steer your car . If you want the latest in 70's technology be my guest. 6.50 @ 226 MPH 4.25 @ 186 MPH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX86DHGKBo0
