need last minute traction advice. pic/vid inside

[Nimitz87]

nice good luck, just don't change everything at once like some of the posts were saying...you'll get there.

that TRZ piece is TRICK, my buddy is running their full suspension on his monte carlo.

Dave,

I add air if it shakes the radials and take air out if it spins. 1/2 pound at a time.
What pressure are you running and what rim tire combo?

[GregWS6&z28]

should have gotten Eric's solid bar David

[ssvert99]

^^^ kind of what i was thinkin... it would bolt onto the rearend... the one Greg has was the original design and is welded on. the one i have now bolts onto the stock sway bar brackets and the drop links attach like normal. bolt it on to race... put the stocker back on for street. that simple. i have them in stock and you know i would make you a sweet deal... theres pics of it in the gears section in my thread toward the last few pages.

you definetly need to ditch the air bags and do some shock adjustment as well. a few passes with the arb and a few other adjustments to what you already have should get you right in line.

wayne they are 315/35/17 mt drag radials on bogart rr10 rims 17*11

last weekend i ran as low as 15, probably too low in hindsight

[MIGHTYMOUSE]

eric this bar is a few pound loss in weight vs a 30 some# gain and does the same thing. it was that simple for me.

[ssvert99]

my bolt-on arb is tubular chromemoly... i would bet it's lighter than the other one. i do not produce any components that are solid.

[MIGHTYMOUSE]

o well.

[Villain281H]

Good luck with the new stuff Dave, the TRZ stuff is nice that I've seen make plenty of laps on a few F-bodys.

it has all ready arrived! installing before dinner.

i believe mike is right, easily 7# lighter than stock

[MIGHTYMOUSE]

mike gave me an idea to shorten the links and weld to the bottom of the rear, im pretty sure there is no room but gotta try something.

i have not heard back from eric, sent pm and called and left a message. if someone knows him well please ask him to call me if he has a bar to ship out.

thanks.

[MIGHTYMOUSE]

*update*
trz install was completed with a relocation of the links to the bottom and this thing WORKS

WOW CONGRATS! that is MOVING!!!

so no other changes besides the bar?

Chad

[MIGHTYMOUSE]

nope.. different weather? harder launch cuz it wasnt spinning?

i had lowered the tire air down in the last couple weeks to low as 15 but after lots of advice i put it back up to 20

[BlackScreaminMachine]

I like good advice works. IEven though that was my advice I just dont think I can go this far on this clean car but for pure straight line, it cant be beat....

How does she feel on the street???

truly impressive, and what a "street car" setup is all about...saw it at the shootout and just pure badass.

that's a huge gain for some air pressure and the bar...

so what are the pros of the TRZ, compared to theBMR bar?

that piece is pretty pimp, i must say.

i never even heard of TRZ..... that is definitely on my list for the summer

[MIGHTYMOUSE]

the trz fit my particular needs better than the bmr or the midwest bar

didnt want to add the weight of a traditional solid bar or lose the ground clearance of the other big hollow anti roll bars

the kicker for me was the 'pimpness' the trz kit has. i like innovative stuff like it. and its ligter than stock

street driving IMPROVED with this trz bar as the front no longer dips over on curves from not having a front sway.

[Turbo LS1 SS]

so you are/am driving with this thing on full time now? what about "normal" turning and shit? is it noticeable?

i have a new panhard in the mail, and i wasn't impressed with my 1" rear sway.... i might have to ditch the panhard before i use it, but i dont wan't my car to suck for normal driving

[ssvert99]

glad to see it all worked out for ya. i had one ready in the box just incase though. looks good under there and the car runs great!
