@steaverbeaver: Slomotion before and after installing traction bars on my 1981 Camaro #z28 #camaro

Tyler Gerry :

Absolutely junk when making power. You’re making the car prone to hopping and you’ll start tweaking the springs. Caltracs or traction bars are the only way, it’s not the 70’s 80’s anymore

T.Stephens981 :

No air shocks, unless you need tire clearance. Traction bars and JRI shocks or, even better Cal-trac and JRI’s. Sweet ride tho it meets the vibe

r35smith :

Completely counterproductive to getting anything to hook on the street

FBody_Addicts :

I run ladder bars

user6506947069436 :

I had a 1978 in 1985. Traction is not the problem with these cars. The problem is the emissions that had the horsepower at 170.

🏁𝓖𝓪𝓫𝓮🏁 :

Still not bad at all, what gears are you running?

Matt Eickhoff :

I love slapper bars, but when I switched to caltracs hooking got so much smoother. Plus the adjustment is awesome

AntMrqz :

Does it ride bad ?

Mason :

what’s your wheel and tire sizes?

Bubba :

60’ times would be nice

sams.maro :

was it hard to install?

underatree :

You want seperation not sqaut.You need to get your pinion angle to about -3 to -4 to actually have your slapper bars do what they are supposed to do.

gdub22 :

If you raised the front spring eye up .750 and added adjustable shocks you’d put your instant center at 110% antisquat. Those bars are a bandaid.

Drew Hart :

Best money I ever spent on my 80 was doing a four link rear end. Ladders are great though.

user7186368076910 :

I miss my slapper bars, I got a sway bar now but it just doesn’t look the same… rides better but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss the motion in the ocean lol

old_dave :

iPush :

When you make stupid power you want the rear to squat

Luke :

Old school slapper bars

blackbird :

Longer bars … 😉.. right under the leaf front shackle .. no bending the spring… straight lift from axle torque.. short bars just bends the springs more than needed

Ponti :

Need to lower the tire psi

Scubasteve79 :

no actually you want the body to lift and the rear to plant

Panzer 4 Lover :

The body is meant to roll, distribute more weight on wheels

None Yeah business :

never needed it....😏

brain5406 :

How about a little thing called “weight transfer “
