Any of y'all run them on your street car? Contemplating install one on my car for the days I visit the track and disconnect if while on the street.

I have the Competition Engineering one on my '96 but it has the solid axle. It gets pissy if I don't disconnect the arms even to back out the driveway. Had it in for about 6 or 7 years.

:dw:

Every Terminator that rolled off the assembly line is equipped with sway bars yet your asking if we "run" them on the street. You are actually considering disconnecting it while driving on public roads (does that include the rear bar as well?). Why?

I can't even begin to fathom the logic behind this :??:

hmm you're really not a drag racing guy at all are you? he's not referring to the stock sway bars... they make weld-in anti-roll bars to work in conjunction with solid rear axles for serious drag racing 60-foots. not very street friendly, but helps your car launch straight with big power.

I got the comp Eng.kit on my 83 fox. You will see big differance in how straight it hooks. That car I don't drive on the street. But you should be fine has long as your running no tailpipes. Go for it went from 1.62 60 from. To a 1.44

Team Z makes an anti-roll bar that clears tail pipes :beer:

I usually just disconnect 1 side when I drive mine on the street.
Which side do disconnect?

Awesome, yea I've been 1.67 ready on 18's but it doesn't go as straight as I'd like.

I'm sure the op has a SRA? CORRECT?
Yea... Not really possible to run an Anti roll bar on a IRS I don't think

1 of the 2 I was looking at. Since I'm a dealer for Baseline, I thought about ordering theirs. A buddy of ran a team Z also and had no problems....I too want to keep my tail pipes.

I usually disconnect the left side.

I run a UPR on my car, basically a copy of the Team Z. A buddy of mine is running the Baseline and has had good luck with it. The biggest difference I've seen between the two is the Baseline uses big beefy heim joints.

Good deal. I'm actually not going to buy now...decided to take a step back to get a house rather than spending money on the car now.

darn tootin' we are!

Ya..just giving you a hard time but a sway bar and anti roll bar are two different things FYI.

It's the same man. The construction is different, but it is correct to interchange the name.
