Just wanted to let everyone know what an excellent product Paul at HR Parts has come up with. We installed one today at the club meeting at ANS. Took maybe an hour total, with 2 guys working on it. I had an ATR sway bar before, and this setup is so much better. the car has much better street manners, corners awesome, and launches hard. It handles so good its hard to believe its more of a drag car. No front sway bar, drag shocks, etc. I highly recommend this product for ANY TR. It seems like every product Paul makes just flat works great. Great product and a all around good guy and good vendor. Thanks again Paul!

Thanks!!
The Chicagoland Chili cook-off / tech session was another great event for us. We though instead of just telling people how the bar works & the potential gains, we figured SHOWING everyone would be much better. Of course with this kind of thing & not knowing for sure how things would turn out on any particular car with a variety of upgrades & different combo's out there, we were still confident we could simply bolt it on, no pre-load, no tuning, and have it work perfect first time out.
The install went quick & easy as Sam mentioned above. Most were caught by surprise how simple & easy it REALLY is, as we all know some installation time estimates are way off. Once installed, Sam took 3 other people for a ride that have never been in a car with our anti-roll/swaybar setup. One person has been working in the suspension field for many years and was familiar with handling and upgrades for many different cars. On a ride around city streets & over a few pot-holes, they arrived back with smiles on their faces. We got "thumbs up" from all 4 people! Things that were mentioned were:
"To have a drag car that takes a 90 degree corner at 25 mph and doesn't have body roll or dump you out of the seat is amazing"
"I haven't seen anything go on so easy & have such a dramatic difference"
"Where a 5psi launch would blow the tires off before, they stuck and it came out hard now"
"Extremely impressed"
"The thing that impresses me the most is, if it feels like that with drag shocks & 15" tires & no front swaybar, just think how it would be with 16-17" tires & a front swaybar!"
"Smooth, quiet,.... Flat out works!"
We couldn't have been more pleased with the REAL results that were confirmed by others that didn't really know our product that Sam picked out at the meeting to come along. He has a great car that we look to help get 3+ tenths faster this year with the bar & some other suspension upgrades & tuning.
Thanks again for all the help & support!
Now if I can just make them faster...

I actually got to talk to Paul as he was heading to Chicago, seems
like a cool guy.
Based on the tests and feed back I'm looking forward to getting
my new sway bar and upper/lower control arms later on this spring.
If all goes well and I'm able to gt out to track, I will posts my results.

I don't have to imagine.
QA-1 coil-overs out back, with the HRpartsNstuff rear bar,
stock front bar, bilsteins, and short springs up front,
and 16" ZR wheels in front, and 17s ZR1 wheels out back.
It's a pleasure to drive. I had the ATR rear bar, and well the difference is night and day, to me.

I have 16's on my car and the bar helped me 2 ways. The first is outright handling. This car feels like it is on rails compared to before. It does seem to hook better with less side sway and more even tire patch displacement. I think with some DR's this thing will hook like ganbusters even with 16" wheels. Hope this helps.
