wheelie bar selection

#1 Post by dragrace5372 » Mon Oct 10, 2005 3:17 pm

any suggestions (pro's and con's) on wheelie bar selection for a '72 Nova? looking for advice on what type is better to use (spring or rigid, etc.) and what other factors need to be considered when looking into getting a set. Thanks!

I personally like the solid type bars. How much power you have and what you want to use the bars for will determine the length. The more power, the longer you would want the bars. 60" is a number that can be bought commercially and would be an all around good set of bars. Try to buy some that you can adjust without taking the bars loose. The top bar would have right and left hand ends so tht you can fine tune them, and also the rear brackets would have more than one hole for a broader adjustment.

Thanks
