Thu, 16 May 2002 03:43 Bigfella, Suspension is one of those fun things nobody ever agrees on ! Firstly in regards to quarter mile time sway bars will do little to help you. (Or hinder you) Therefore for the benefit of removing suspension twist they would be considered a good idea. The size ratio from front to rear I have no idea on a 4WD. I'm going to offend the GT4 guys here but look towards something like that as your basis for descision. A 4WD specialist will probably not know how to give you the result you want. Strut braces will theoreticlly be of minor benefit in your quarter mile quest. However a stiffer body will twist less resulting in a more even weight distribution to the tires and hence to the tar. A full cage and/or seam welding would be more effective but probably not practicle in your case. (you've already had it painted) In a net shell Sway bars add rigidity to the suspension, Strut bars add ridgiity to the chassis. As for a QTR mile set up the main difference is not the strut bars and sway bars. They focus on the side to side movement of your vehicle when cornering and pretty much just sit there when travelling in a straight line. A Good quarter needs a good launch so it is actually shock and spring rates that will be what gets your attention should you go searching for that elusive tenth of a second. As far as shows go...People love mods strut braces and swaybars seem to be a bonus ! Most people don't really know what they do anyway ! Good luck with it. [Report message to a moderator]
