pm sent but im thinking now that these arent going to work if youve got rear sway bars.

i rode in the truck today, it was on street tires but i will say you noticed the rear much stiffer as being part of the truck now especially when turning. we did a few rolling launches and truck planted the wheels nicely. doing from a dig on street tires is pointless but didnt encounter any wheel hop. put some more preload on them and should really plant those tires!!!

as for testing its up to bill and mother nature. around here its been raining none stop for days now. i know the one track is flooded out not sure if other one is.

as for IC and etc that you post about vanilla, i see yoru arguement but these style bars work for lightnings to produce excellent numbers. Ls and our trucks are similar designs so they should produce similar results. his bars might need adjusted or not but that wont be determined untill he gets some good track passes. with setting up preload and etc

ya shitty *** weather. track results should be up next wednesday, thats probably the soonest i can get to the track (if it doesnt rain then to lol)

on a side note the truck shouldnt be any different (other than the bars) then the last time i posted numbers so id say any improvement would be + results. as george said these things like eliminated the wheel hop, havent felt any since they put them on

so what are the cheances of making 3 passes without the bars and 3 passes with them? they dont look like they would be hard to remove for street use and throw back on for the track. my ride is already stiff enough without any kind of bars lol..
