    Are you guys running front or rear sway bars? Im not concerned with cornering, my car will be 20% street, 80% drag use.

    use a small bar for the front for racing you want the car to lift as much as possible. Rear the absolute best I have seen is HR Partsand Stuff. By the way is that your old Stage 1 for sale in Chicago?

    I have Moroso springs up front and "heavy duty" stock type rears springs. The first time i took it out it had air bags in the rear and NO sway bars. No GOOD :Dou: I couldnt turn at all without the car leaning way over. I put the stock T-type rear bar in and left the huge t-type front off and I could drive it atleast. Something like 5lb and 15 in the bags. Now i am going to put the HR bar in the back, no bags, and see what happens. If I had a regal stock front bar I might put that in. We will see what the HR bar does first.

    Call Finishline (my hyperlink below has the address) for the HR bar. They have a pretty good price for them. Good luck

    Last I heard my old Stage 1 was headed for a container ship for a ride to Finland.

    I still have the stock GN front sway bar I took off the car. Should I find something smaller than that? Also, I planning on making the car sit fairly low. Will this present any problems with the mounting of the HR bar if I go that route?

    smaller would be lighter. A buddy made a good point. "If you get crossed up and have to let off, all your weight will be on the front, if you dont have a bar up there whats going to happen? Your F'ed" .. Were going to put in his tube bar that weighs about 5lb but works better than stock. I don't see how the HR bar will keep you from sitting too high?
