Where did you get the roof spoiler? I have one but I might need another.

Awesome! It's about time someone came up with something to stabilize the control arms!

Hi

I think it would help but it would be more effective if the pan mounting point was further forward, I like how the sway car has been curved to allow more wheel movement.

That is neat but can someone explain to me why the control arms need supported/stabilized in this way? And what is stabilizer is doing. It does remind me of the front suspension of a 240z. The swaybar is a great idea. I might have to get one when my project gets further along

Hi

The sway bar normally holds the control arm in place, maybe the extra stay is needed because the bend on the sway that normally isn't there on stock bar could cause movement.
