wonder bar question

I bought a wonder bar to put on my 84 Z28. I think it bolts on using the same bolts as the front sway bar. My question is simple, does the bar go to the rear or front? I believe it goes to the rear. Just wanna be sure before I have to redo my install.

The bar will be facing toward the front of the car.

Re: wonder bar question

It goes on the front, but few Wonder Bars fit the '84.

Re: wonder bar question

Both the UMI (83-92) and the TDS (82-92) apparently make pieces that are designed to fit earlier models:

Re: wonder bar question

I have an 83 bird.
No problem fitting a Spohn.....
Until I got later year dual electric fans.
Then I had to go to a UMI bar.
Fans fit fine now.
CrMo Spohn Wonder Bar for sale.
