    Spohn drag bar install(pics)

    Took out my stock rear sway bar and have my new spohn anti roll drag bar in place. Haven't tightened anything yet as I have to take some measurements before I crank everything down and then next spring have the brackets welded to the frame and a couple tack welds to the u-bolts. Here's some pics of the old compared to the new..

    Old sway bar

    old end links

    NEW END LINKS

    New bar


    Here's my only concern, may have to turn my shocks around, looks like the bar could interfere with my adjustment knob on the shocks.. 1BADAIR feel free to chime in on this one(since I know you have this bar installed)

              No, the post above yours was just referring to the quality/strength compared to the stock unit.. My car's parked for the year.. bar is in, but nothing has been tightened yet, I have to measure some stuff before I can finish it up..

                yeah, you might want to turn the shocks. Mine are adjusted inside the car.
                My bar is very close to the shock brackets. It must be a Moser thing cause you have alot more room

                  I was thinking the same thing.. How do you adjust the shocks from inside the car?

                    Nice piece. What made you get it? Was it not launching straight?

                        Launches straight, but has body roll when it launches.. I watched Larry's car(1BADAIR) launch with this bar and it launches nice and even, no body roll.. Figured I'd give it a shot.. You can see my drivers front is up higher than the pass side, this should help eliminate that..

                          saves parts too by loading both tires equally.
