here is one:
the hollow speedway engineering sway bars are available in different torsional stiffness (wall thickness) to adjust to different "needs" :
i like to power-slide sideways = stiff bar for minimal body roll.
Ryan , your more a "carving" type of driver = so i guess the softer bar will give you more "hook".
i guess we will change to a softer bar on yours when we upgrade to the new 2.5" front spindle and see what works better for you
That flat trackin looks like fun. Is that up around Prescott?

Ryan,
you may need to get rid of that shitty CMS wheels up front
. With the right wheels you liked also the swaybar. I'm pretty sure that rim with the wrong offset is messing with you 
Onanysunday, that track is 60 miles north of Prescott on our property
we will do a fun day out here with many miles of fun dirt roads .... but we need first a new shop car
Hey Spooner...no fair...me sitting at home while you're playing with my buggy! Can't wait for the "new and improved" HIturtle.

Thanks for the pic. I would very much like to see how it works at the dunes.

And yes they are on all our cars from day one.
Zilla,
We just play around with different stiffness. camcar has a very stiff bar and John likes it that way for the street use. I like the bars to run the hard transissions and razors of early season Dumont, doing sidehills for creazy lines and on dirt roads doing power slides.

and you guys do not loose traction in turns, a bar will lift the inside tire and with a open diff that is not a good thing.....

No. I've driven our cars both with and without the sway bars. The ones without will actually lift the inside tire easier. With the rear sway bar the car stays flat enough in turns that the inside tire almost never gets to full droop.

Can this be an "add on" or does it have to be built into the frame?
Zilla I told you and yes it can be added. Now you know why it took me so long to get mine done, they work great!

we build the mount into a strong braced point of the frame right where the motor mount bracing/ A-arm mounts meet:
the sway bar adds a lot of stress into the frame...make sure you add the bar on a well braced area
looks to be a V8 Rail need.....kinda strange, loooking more an more like a Cheby truck
Gotcha. I'm going to learn as much as I can about this before I do anything... Thanks of all the scooby and tips!

yeah we build cars that turn .... It would also be something for you .... else the Cheby trucks will outturn you
thomas i like the idea of a sway bar it works really well (too good) .with the sway bar off now it grabs too hard in the rear. I need it to slide a little bit so i do need a sway bar but, just a really light wall thickness one. i will trade you guys for a light one when ever u want to. so when you go to order one for the shop car, get a light one and i will take it thanks

No, Beach didn't remove it, I did. I felt it didn't add to the technical discusion. When I found that I was laughing my arse off. Then sanity took control and I removed it. I am glad you liked it.
