Special Order
Designed to withstand the abuse of drag racing, the Competition Engineering Professional Wheel-E-Bar Series is the choice of more racers than other designs. Each bar has lower spring adjusters made from 7075-T6 aluminum to allow ease in preload adjustment. The lower struts are made from high strength 6061-T6 aluminum, enabling them to handle the forces applied to them without fatiguing. Each kit includes all required fasteners & quick release pins to allow access to the rear end housing for jacking. It has 44" overall length & 22-11⁄16" center to center mounting bracket distance. Wheelstands may look great, but they can actually hurt performance. Some front end lift is beneficial to weight transfer, but excessive lift can hurt. When a car wheelstands upon initial launch, it uses power that could propel the vehicle forward. This results in slower ET's. As tire technology & horsepower levels progressed, racers experimented with ways to combat this problem. Most original designs consisted of bars or leaf springs welded directly to the rear end housing, hoping to prevent the front of the car from rising too high. One of the major problems with this is that they caused the rear tires to unload, resulting in a loss of traction. We recognized this problem long ago & developed a series of Wheel-E-Bars designed to limit & control big wheelstands without unloading rear tires. We did this by using an axle housing mounted bracket that allows the Wheel-E-Bar to react instantly with rear housing movement. As the rear housing rotates, the rubber wheels come in contact with the track. The shock of this contact is absorbed by the lower aluminum struts & coil spring upper struts, which keep the tires from unloading. As the housing continues to rotate & the front end begins to lift, coil springs on the upper struts start to compress. The more the springs are compressed, the more force they exert, which converts the rotational energy into forward motion, resulting in quicker ET's.
