DUAL SWAYBARS (**everything you need to know**)

[Justin]

Would it work to spot-weld the rear bars together?

Try something simple

If anyone is interested, here's how i did it on my 940.
Ground down the endlinks

I found that old lugnuts make great spacers! Just got 2 new bushings from FCP for $2

Everything gets an obligatory garrish paintjob.

Fitment is quite nice!

Rears required some brainpower. the 940 rear bar mounts are twisted, not straight like the 240s. I had to get longer lower shock bolts and space it out with washers.

Happy with the results.

Don't. The swaybar hit the a/c line and inner fender on mine because I tried to cheap out and use those.

Just space them down 3/4" Tbricks stylez and spend the money you save on longer bolts and spacers.

Here's my rear setup. Thanks TB!

Car needs more undercoating, and getting it finished. Been busy for almost a year...

Can't thank The Aspirator enough for this write-up. I did this to my 76 242 in the front and it completely changed the car. It isn't lumbering around anymore its tight and grabs the road. I can take corners 10+mph faster than before.

This is full of win!!
adding to mod list!

Here's a chart I made so people can easily see what each combination produces!

Picked up a second 23mm Turbo bar. I'll be doing this as soon as I get my second set of poly bushings from IPD.

Has anyone tried this on a 7/9XX? Front or rear?

edit: never mind went back one page and seen that it has been done. On those who did it with a wagon tell me what you think about it please.

 

[500dollar744ti]

my old red 740 wagon has it, Mick installed them when he got the car. it's great, really tight, much better than stock.

I think it's awesome. I need to get another turbo rear bar, as I goofed an installed one turbo and one NA bar. Two turbo bars in the front. Handles well. Just don't drop the swaybar on your face like I did when you are installing them and you'll be a-ok.

Do you have them in the front, rear, or both?

Someone advise against sways on the rear. You experience any problems with it being too stiff?

not at all. It isn't tail happy , unless I want it to be. Keep in mind though that my car has a hogged out head and the biggest valves you can stuff in it. This keeps my power band more towards the mid range and high end. I bet if I had more low end it may be more prone to snap oversteer.

 

[Wilford Brimley]

I only have have duals on the front right now...i haven't done the back yet but out does NOT like to slide. I don't like it, the rear needs to be done asap

 

[grnmachine02]

I kinda wanna redo the rears on mine. First so I'll have two turbo rear bars instead of one turbo and NA (because i'm a dumb) and secondly because my bracket for the rears is ghetto as hell. It looks like a shark bit the metal out, instead of someone cutting it

 

[DennisvdB]

I'm doing the front now, is there anybody who upgraded from regular rubber bushings to PU bushings? Noticed any difference?

Are you talking about the bushings on the bar itself or the links? The reason I ask is because I had to cut the bushings on the bar itself and I don't know if I would want to be doing that on nice poly ones. I'm sure someone has though.

 

[DennisvdB]

I mean those on the bar.

There are 2 types of bushings and brackets. One with a lip, and one without. Superflex sells those which you don"t have to adjust. I have a lot of brackets, both styles, and I chose the ones without lip because of fitment.

I'll ad a few pics later.
