BMR is the only company that I am aware who is working on it officially. Unofficially, Hotchkis was going to work on it as well.
And there are no "better" sway bars, only stiffer and less stiffer ones haha. Stock SS ones are pretty damn awesome and I see no need to upgrade them for now. I have not hit up the road course yet which I do plan on, after that I can see what exactly the vehicle will need suspension wise but even then, I do not enjoy ruining the DD Ability of my toy cars. |

It's probably going to test our patience waiting for new parts. Regarding possible upgrades, sway bars are less likely then most to be detrimental to drivability . Maybe noticeable on the harshest bumps. I'd be a bit wary of changing just the rear unless it's a proven setup. Usually need both ends updated for balanced handling. It also should be put off until you have your tires and wheel combination sorted out.

What problem are you trying to solve with a rear bar? I'm sure Strano will have an adjustable unit out eventually, but he'll need a car to test with. His stuff doesn't always fit the narrative of what is generally considered "good," though.

Mine handles awesome, corners flat and hooks pretty good from a roll. Haven't hit it from a dead stop yet, I'm sure it will blow the tires off.

I think the suspension setup is pretty damn awesome with MRC. From all the info we got on the 1LE, looks like the only difference is really the eLSD. Info wasn't released saying sway bars are different or saying it was different. Tire setup is way different but that was expected since I knew from day 1 we could use a wider setup. It isn't 100% needed but sure could use it. |

Tr6, remember I'm heading your way in a few months for Hot Rod Power tour. Stay in touch and wheres a good motel to stay at. Kansas Pavilion is where we are heading to and then back to KC on Friday. Then to Topeka on Friday night or Saturday Morning for Super Chevy.

I like to wait for others to do the R&D and real-world racing on them before I buy.

Yeah, those awsome stoppers on the sway bar....the ones that punch out your bushings from the brackets. Never had any luck with those. I must have gone around turn 2 really fast

I tried gathering info on the sway bars and other suspension parts but it is way too early for it... Especially for sway bars. I still have a spread sheet to compare stock ones in weight/hollow or solid/stiffness % increase etc... I have my template, just need the info haha. |

2. I use teflon tape instead of grease for the bushings, it lasts a lot longer.

2: That is VERY interesting! I will definitely do some digging on it as it's the first time hearing it. edit: Using teflon tape is VERY old school. I like it! |
