Rear Suspension Problem

[luillo]

Well, i was looking everywhere in the forum for a thread i think could help me with my problem but i can't find it.

my problem is that i started the install of the CHE anti-squat bracket and BBR LCA and when i was finish i notice that if i use the BMR rear Sway Bar Relocator brackets the rear sway bar will not fit because it hits the CHE Anti-squat bracket.

my question is can i delete the rear sway bar and then cut the tab to fit my Race Star 15" without having too much instability in the rear end????

I was thinking of deleting the sway bar then cut thew tab and to compensate not having a sway bar i will get a watts link..

i really want to delete the sway bar to use the new tires and the 15" but i don't know if that is a good idea.

please any suggestions.

I would ditch the anit squat brackets, install the lowers and a sway bar relocation kit. Thats what I did with mine.

I assume you are planning on drag racing. If you are lowered I would not ditch the anti-squat brackets. They return the LCA's to the proper angle that they were at when stock. The anti-sway bar is critical for drag racing and actually you would benefit from a larger anti-sway bar. It helps keep the car level on launch. Cars you see that twist up and lift the left front only are an example. HTH.

I'm also a little confused if you are calling the panhard bar the anti-sway bar or what.

well i did removed the CHE Anti-squat brackets and installed the BMR Sway bar relocator and also i put the Cobra Jet Springs. Then the ET Street.

the car feels almost the same i just hope i get better results in the track tomorrow.

Tomorrow i will take a look at the front Sway bar/ Radiator support and see if i can install the UPR Sway bar delete. and the front CJ.

i will post some pictures of the rear now with the CJ springs and the ET on 15"

Nope man i dont have any problems with the panhard. is just the anti-swaybar. i am not lowered with the CJ. They look almost the same high but if any is just a lil bit. i had to take the LCA relocator to use the sway bar relocator.

Do i need the bracket with the cobra jet springs?????

i think i saw a thread that shows the CJ lower the car just a 1/4 in the back but i dont think that is enough to change the angle of the Rear LCA dont you think???

I look at the car and looks good i just forgot to take mesurements before and after with the protractor. I hope i get enough traction at the track, if i need the Anti-squat bracket then i will have to take the rear end out to weld those things on it without the extra metal around them.

I agree, you should go with a 28" tire.

BTW, I have the Steeda sway bar relocation kit for sale if you're interested.

i know, i wanted to put 28 but every body recomended me 26. The good thing is that the car feels alot better.

Any body have their cars lowered without LCA Relocator??? i want to know if is really needed. If i end up needing those i will have to take the rear end and weld the CHE part that lower the LCA and cut the side part to fit the Sway bar Relocator.

The question was already answered.

If you are lowered to a point where you are even or the opposite angle of stock. Then you need them.
