S&W makes good parts. Several people are hooking hard on their suspension pieces. - They advertise almost all the time in the National Dragster.

spohn's roll bar is the s&w roll bar. i would recomend the competiotion engineering swing out kits as they are a 1 peice design rather than the pain in the *** 2 peice of s&w, that is my only rant about the stuff i bought from steve.

the point number is up to 12 now. it is nhra legal, but more of an autocross setup.

Well the thing about i have heard, that swing outs are not nhra aproved, and scca will not pass inspection. Does the swing out actually help the reson that the roll cage is there for?

the swing outs ARE nhra approved, and scca approved. when the swing outs are closed and locked, they are just like they were never cut and hinged.

several of us on this board use the swing outs because it would be damn near impossible to get in and out of the car for those of us that are tall (which makes the shoulder bar higher), so it was really a necessity.
