Adjusting antisway bar for 800 HP stroker.
Just thought a high torque motor would need more adjustment or preload on the right slick . Cars running 28x10 slick and seen rear of car tilt to the right and instantly drop. Thats not planting tires that way. Ususally runs 5.80 in 1/8. He raised the front end and lowered the rear a bunch and hasn't checked the bar setting yet. Would setting the shocks to 70/30 on rear work ok to slow the squat? My car did better with SSM bars and air bag, But had it set perfect after trial and error. He might need to Loose the SSM bars, heard both ways with the antisway bar. Any advice I'll try to help him lol.

Re: Adjusting antisway bar for 800 HP stroker.
When adjusting for a neutral/starting point for an anti-roll that's used with an aftermarket 4-link I usually.....
(1) Have the car sitting on the ground at ride height with the suspension compressed.
(2) Have the driver/driver's weight sitting in the car.
(3) Unhook the right/passenger side anti-roll link.
(4) Adjust the left/driver side anti-roll link to the desired angle (say level with ground or whatever).
(5) Reconnect the right/passenger side anti-roll link and adjust it so the link "rattles on the rod-ends" (no weight/preload on the rod-ends).
(6) If it's a cheap anti-roll where the side arms are attached with through-bolts and have some "slack" (vs the arms being attached with splined ends, or welded on) you might have to adjust out some of the slack with the right/passenger side anti-roll link.
This method might/might not work with a stock suspension setup.

^^^^^yes this^^^^^you never never never adjust preload with the anti roll bar attached. Un hook anti roll adjust preload (driver in car) then attach anti roll where the bolt go in with no bind etc. anti roll bar must be neutral.
