I towed the Formula up to Denver, PA on Friday, so Steve Spohn could install one of his new "drag race" rear sway bars. This is a killer setup, for high HP cars that can pull the front wheels substantially. By using a HUGE rear sway bar, it keeps the body from twisting in response to the torque, and keeps the front wheels level - and the loading to the rear wheels even - as the front wheels come up off the pavement. Also keeps the car pointed straight down the track, at that critical point when you can't steer it 
.
This is sort of the next step up from using an airbag in the passenger side rear spring (the ones in the pic below need to be removed). If you have ever seen a pic of a car pulling the front wheels, and seriously bent out of shape, it is because they do not have the "drag race" rear sway bar.
I would hesitate to use this on a car that is a daily driver, because the body is going to be restricted from rolling at all, and I have no idea what the affect would be on the steering.
The bar is 1-5/16" (33mm) chrome moly solid rod. Rod ends are super premium QA1 high rotational movement, with Kevlar pads.
Nice thing about this kit is that it can be installed at home, simple bolt in, in about an hour. It uses the stock location to replace the stock body sway bar brackets with a new bracket, that is bolt-in. After you get it all together and get it set up, you can take it to a welding shop and have the brackets welded in. Compared to the Wolfe bar, this is far simpler, and attaches the end links to the strongest part of the subframe. Also recommended, but not essential, is tack welding of the u-bolts to the axle tubes.
If you want any more into, send me an e-mail. This is the first install of one of these bars, and it is not in the Spohn online catalog yet.
