How much bar does it need? Or does it even need them? For the $$ the quarter max weld up kit is hard to beat. IMO Cool

Ours are $800-$1800 depending on weight of car, horsepower level, suspension style, etc.

Don't forget that a wheelie bar kit/set made of 'moly tubing will need to be Tig welded, vs Mig welding.

If you decide not to run bars just remember if goes for the stars....
1) shift to high gear

2) easy off the throttle just a tad ( it doesn't take much to put it down )

3) idle back to pit and change undergarment Razz Razz

How does you figure out how long of a bar your car needs?

Start at around 70" C/C on a dual wheel 'moly tube set & work from there. As the bars get longer & longer the need increases for some form of a bolt-in/pull-pin pivoting vertical brace/connector between the top bar & bottom bar each side (placed aprox mid length). These extra braces helps keep the long w/bar from bowing too much (and possibly folding up) under load.
