Re: rear sway bar for 1.40 & quicker cars
Qwik84 - What kind of 60fts are you pulling with this bar? I have a comp universal that has gotten me 1.25 best so far on radials - But getting some twist still and feel that 1" universal is much of the fault. Just curious what that bar can handle. Was thinking of going Spohn or BMR - Just want to make sure I am not downgrading.

Kwick & I don't have the horsepower to move out that quick (yet
). FWIW, the Stainjanger bar is "Hollow 1.25 x .120 wall tubing", so it's bigger than what you got, now. I do agree with Matt, though, that your 60' is getting into territory for a piece like the TRZ. But if that's out of reach, I think the Stainjanger one is comparable to the other brands' similar designs, and it's $50 cheaper.

Agree with all of the above....Those 60' numbers call for a dedicated all oit drag piece. However if you want to send me your driveline I would be more than happy to test it out and give some feedback!

Re: rear sway bar for 1.40 & quicker cars
Well my comp is pretty much a dedicated part, but just feel it only being 1" hurts it. That TMZ or whatever it was looks stout - Not sure I want to drop that coin either - But also dont want to remove stock fuel tank for a BMR double set up. Anybody know anyone running that TMZ bar?

Re: rear sway bar for 1.40 & quicker cars
First, thnx to all the regular contributors to this forum. I've used the search feature for the archives for years, which led me to this post.
Calling ahead to Steinjager, they could not confirm that their drag bar would fit a Moser 9 inch but offered to take it back if it did not. There is interference between the bar and the upper thru bolt for the torque arm adapter. Using the Spohn axle brackets I had used to mount the stock sway bar positioned the bar correctly further from the axle, but left the links too short to work. Steinjager expressed out longer lengths of threaded rod as I chose to try to make it work, and it did.
Sent detailed pics and measurements to Steinjager. If you want to try their product on a Moser piece, call ahead to see if they made changes.

Re: rear sway bar for 1.40 & quicker cars
For anyone wondering....I am no longer with the company, but I am still running the bar and hoping to put some mid to low 1.4's on the time slip.
Right now I think Ricky is hitting that bar pretty hard, and I haven't heard about it turning into a pretzel.......yet....lol
