I'm building for a customer and he has the front sway bar and would like the rear. I asked FFR but thought I may get a quicker answer here.
Thx,
Henry

Hey Henry!

Note the specifics for pin drive installation however; it's a little more involved than simply bolting it on:
"Pin-Drive Option: Our sway-bar works with pin-drive. We include a different lower bracket for the pin-drive arms, so let us know if you have pin-drive, when you order. You will need to swap the spindles from left to right so that the calipers are in the front of the spindle, otherwise the sway-bar will hit the calipers. Also, you may need to have the e-brake cable lengthened."
If he doesn't want to go to the extent of adding the rear I suggest removing the front bar---having one on the front only will make it plow like a tractor ;)

Thanks Jeff! I didn’t know the Mapstone’s we’re still in business.

This worked for a stock width, not sure for a pin drive. I'd like to find a rear solution too. NOW Jeff, I had bars on the front of my old Mk3, it wasn't near that bad. Yes it would push some, till the right foot did its job. :rolleyes: ;)
