Rear Anti Roll Bar for Drag Strip Traction

[Michael Bennett]

Hi guys, looking to get a rear anti roll bar to help get the Malibu to hook up better. I'm liking the looks of the Spohn Racing bar. The UMI bar looks good too. Does anyone have experience with either of them?

Buy a good one the longer the arm you can fit under the car the better

Don't know how much HP you have or trouble your encountering. Are you running a stock sway bar? I'm using a Quarter-Max in the Regal - Trick Chassis in the Sonoma

Yeah, they make nice stuff and he's local but I've got an 8.5 and I don't want to weld on it and I want to keep my tailpipes.

Looks like your on the right track...Don't bother with sway bars that mount to the lower control arms. I put a Helwig on mine and I'm happy with it. Bigger is not always better in the rear.

How adjustable is it? Wanting to be able to preload one side when I go to the dragstrip.

Looks good. The pics on their we site make it look like it hangs really low but yours doesn't seem to.
