Default hot racing sway bar kit READ BEFORE YOU BUY!!

Well got my kit only to find out it won't work with the pro trac kit. That sucks!! Hopefully you haven't made the same mistake!

No camera right now. If you want come to track side this friday and I can show you. But essentially There are no mounting holes on the back side of the arms where they would be bolted in. And if you have a rpm fron bumper they won't work either. They need the bumper "shock" to hook up to.

Can you drill a 3mm hole in the back of the pro line arms?

You'll need to drill a 2.5mm hole, but it will work. I'm using the front sway bracket for the rear, with a custom bar. I don't race carpet or onroad, so I've never seen a need for a front bar.

Jeeesh what happened to this hobby?When i started in this hobby back in 85,all you had was kits and very crude by todays standards.Back then you made your own performance upgrades.Nowadays if it doesnt fit people will just write off that purchase.Dude,get your drill,Dremel ,band saw or whatever you can and make that sway bar work.Just my opinion

Yeah I saw Dr. Isotopes custom rear bar setup and followed him. With a custom bent rear bar (thanks again Doc!) the Dynamite front bar kit makes a better rear bar then the HR kit. You do have to drill your own holes in the arms tho, I didn't even know the stock arms have holes drilled for a swaybar actually.
