I think when the car is sitting on it's wheels the angle of the links will improve. The wheels are at full droop. He has the springs set to ride higher so they will force the arms farther down when it's on a lift. His car may squat quite a bit when he takes off hard. Your yellow car sets quite a bit lower so the rear arms don't drop as far when the weights off the wheels. The bar could have already been on the car and he didn't notice the angle. He probably has never raced the car anywhere but at the stoplight, don't try him there with your porsche 3.6. you might get a lesson in torque. Also the shields are on the mufflers to prevent the heat from getting to the oil cooler it looks like to me. He put the bulge on the hood for the same reason I've got one on my k5 Blazer, he liked it.

It's simply not true. The bar is mounted to the wrong place on the chassis. That bar doesn't work.

...Your yellow car sets quite a bit lower so the rear arms don't drop as far when the weights off the wheels.

My car isn't particularly low, and it doesn't matter anyway.

....don't try him there with your porsche 3.6. you might get a lesson in torque.

I promise you, that won't be the lesson. That engine alone weighs 175 pounds more than mine. The total installation is at least 250 pounds heavier.

The lesson: Power:weight is all that matters. That V8 has to make 100 hp more than mine just to offset its weight.
