  1. Thanks Pete, I have created a street sleeper and have standard springs at present with Illumina adjustables. The idea of running a sway bar that locates on the diff is interesting and I will research this if I can't get the one that I have to fit round the new shafts. I just collected the shortened links today so I should be able to give them a try and have some news of my success or failure by next week. This is all trial and error though - we took an inch out of each link but I'm worried that its going to limit the suspension travel. Not long before I find out now!
  2. Thanks for all the responses and reassurance so far. I am worried about roll with power on round corners though. I drove the car both with and without the rear bar. It did seem to make a difference to squatting - I don't know why but the car seemed to go down to a lesser degree with the bar on. It also made a noticeable difference to roll on cornering. It might be personal preference but I think the bar helps with handling. Thanks for the advice - I will post the results of shortening the link soon. Cheers
  3. Yes thanks for that DeleriousZ, but I need the bar to help control the car. I have approx 400bhp and on full boost the back end will be hit the floor and the nose will hit the sky - the car will then go all over the shop as the weight shifts around. Also, I don't fancy putting it on boost on a bend with no rear swaybar in place! So I really do feel that I need the bar in position. I do wish that Ross had made this issue clear on his website and posted a fix for it. I am going to persevere and try different lengths of links first - hey I might just get lucky. Anyway thanks for chipping in. Cheers
  4. I have a November 72 (73 year model) 240z. I have installed an RB26DETT Skyline twin turbo engine and have upgraded my rear end. I have installed an R200 LSD, 260z Stub axles and 300ZX Single Turbo CV drive shafts using the Modern Motorsports companion flange adapters shown below. Once fitted my rear sway bar is firmly in contact with the CV boot as shown below on both sides of the car. I have removed the links and am having them shortened by 1 inch - we are just cutting an inch out of the middle and welding them back together. Its trial & error and so I don't know if it will work or create other problems though? Has anyone else had this problem and if you have how did you solve it??? Cheers
