Anyone have wheelie bars on a third gen with stock style suspension and a stock location sway bar. I'm curious to see how the brackets clear everything. I can't afford to wreck anymore parts when it comes down off the bumper.

 

I can't see how the typical mounts would fit behind the panhard bar. If someone still uses stock style suspension and needs wheelie bars, they'll have tabs welded to the housing to attach the bars although if they use the aluminum spring on the rear bar, that could be difficult to attach. Even I don't need wheelie bars yet but when I get a set they'll be tubular bars on the top and bottom with custom mounts.

Take it into a chassis shop and have them fabricate something proper.

 

bunch of pics of them on www.ls1tech.com

 

I don't see any. Got any specific links?

 

I planned on having my local chassis shop fab something up. I was just looking for some pics to see what others have done. My car still has the stock gas tank and a stock style sway bar under the rear so I have alot of obstacles. I hope to get the car calmed down via front shock and limiter adjustments but would like to have bars on the car untill I get it right. I really don't wanna keep wrecking parts. Since I'm underpowered for the class I run I have to have the thing on kill the first half of the track to have a chance of running with the other guys.

 

madman on ls1tech has set them up a bunch of times, i think he is a sponsor on ls1tech as well

 

being underpowered is why you're going up, not forward. It takes more power to move the entire car than it does to pick up the front end. - Up is wasted momentum unless its need to keep enough weight transfer to maintain traction. - What I'm saying is I wouldn't consider this set-up to be "kill" for short times.

We were running bottom 5's in the 1/8 with the 445ci blower motor and we didn't have bars on it. Front end came up about 18" and away it went. 1.20 60ft.

All things said I would worry about limiting the front first. That can/will make a big difference in how hard/high it comes up. - As for hurting it coming down, I'm kinda lost. You lifting or just running completely out of power? Years ago my old man had a C modified production Nova that would stand completely on the rear bumper(I've got a pic w/ the rear slicks off the ground) if he didn't leave hard enough. Never hurt anything on it and it was a stick. It's normal launch was with the front tires about 5' up then pull 2nd.
