Just installed Comp engineering universal swaybar - pic inside.

Just installed comps universal swaybar, figured it was better than spending $450+ for a BMR,Spohn ect..
This one is $260, need to figure out how to mount it, I mounted mine backward - they want bar attached to chassis and links to axle tube..

I weld brackets to shock mounts ( better than risking tube distortion)
and links to unibody framework.. Was rather straight forward, alot of hours trial fitting and grinding, cutting, welding...

Here is a pic, Camera went dead after this shot, if anymore needed I can get..

ahhhh, decided to "mule" that thing yourself, huh? Looks good.
- You're not the first to mount it that way on our cars - I've seen a pic of another one done that way. Doesn't matter which way it's mounted, still does the same thing. - Been to the track with it yet?

That's the one thing I've been working out with the new chassis for my car, which is basically gonna be a mule suspension for my 10.5 outlaw car. With ladder bars or 4-link you pre-load to make it track straight and to squash body roll. If your set-up tracks straight, you go to an anti-roll to keep it square. I'm going to try a sliding tq arm set-up in mid-high 4sec(1/8) 10.5 outlaw car.
- The anti-roll is gonna have it's work cut out for it......

- I'm ancy to hear how it does....

I have mine setup the same way, it is a Wolfe Racecraft piece. Consistant low 1.30's with mine on radials (a best of 1.310).
87_ta, what did your 60' look like before install?
