A-body traction bars

Slapper bars suck on all levels. Go with either Caltracs, or compeition engineering slide a links if your looking for a bolt on traction device
 
With good upper and lower arms you shouldn't really need them. I worked on one car with the antihop bars but didn't like them cause if it did hop it would break one of the through bolts for the bar

just thought you'd like to know a bodys are like g bodys they are factory 4 link cars, they dont have leaf springs.
 
im just going to try some adjustable uppers and a bigger sway bar. Ive heard from a few people they work and other they blow on the street.
 
I have Hotchkiss Upper and lowers with big rear sway bar. Was a huge difference on the street. Never had it to the track after install though!

1badair and Flagman are correct A-Bodies are Factory 4-link.

What exact car is this going on?
 
I thought those cars were a leaf car, my mistake. However most bolt on traction bars stop axle windup, on a 4 link you have no axle windup, so i don't see were it really will have any benefit.

Its an anti roll bar from http://www.hrpartsandstuff.com/ . Good stuff.
 
I pulled the wheels w/ 8" slicks, moroso springs, air-bag on the right, stock sway bar, and Hotchkis non adj. arms. You should not need anything else. Apparently the old Southside lowers did nothing.
 
theres a million diffrent things to do i just want to figure out what works, if anyone has some parts they want to sell just let me know

I used to have air bags. An antiroll bar compared to an airbag is like comparing the cornering ability of my accord vs a new corvette.
