Racing Anti Roll Bar Install

On the top 25 post 86T-bird said that a anti roll bar may be in my future like this one http://www.teamzmotorsports.net/product_p/arb-2.htm

Is this just a weld in?  Does a mustang one fit a T-bird with no problem?  Any problem with stock shocks?

Any recommendations besides the one listed above?

Thanks everyone.

Looking at that roll bar, it appears to be a bolt it bar system.  What do you currently have?

Just stock Turbo Coupe stuff with weight jackers lowers.

Ted,

That's a weld in.  Ends weld to the rear frame and the tabs are welded to the axle housing.

Shoot an E-mail to Dave at Team Z to confirm the fit on the rear of your bird.

The weight jacker rear control arms are not known for their strength as the power levels go up.  A hard hook with a hit with nitrous could break them (look out wall!).

Ted, yes it's a weld in and it will fit the T bird! looks like you could use the ARB to cure the twist in that launch photo!

So far the weightjackers are working good and I really like how they adjust so I can raise it a bit with slicks and bring it back down for the Nittos.  I do keep an eye on the crazy small bolt that holds the spring pad but the rest of the unit looks plenty strong to me.

Ted,

I've gotta set of like new weight jackers for sale!  I agree with you on convenience of setting the ride height.  Great for dropping the rear to set the instant center.

Based on my goals of mid 10's with the Mustang, Dave highly recommended swapping them out.  He has seen them break at the jacking screw when launching hard enough to run those times (usually 60's around the mid 1.4's).

The good news for you is: Mid 10's may be possible with the gas!
