Install directions/pics for IPD front and rear bars? 120-130

What I was attempting to point out, and was obviously lost in the translation somewhere is that you were making a huge generalization by stating a rear bar is useless on a live axle car. If you're ice racing, maybe you don't want any sway bars on the car. Perhaps I should take that stand? For road racing it might be possible for a rear bar to be detrimental to lap times but only under specific conditions. People who are putting cars on a track had better have a little understanding about what sway bars do and, quite likely, wouldn't be asking how to mount a rear sway bar in an online forum.

On a street driven car I can think of no reason why you wouldn't want a rear sway bar. I've got IPD's front and rear sway bars on my 122 along with a very tight limited slip differential and would love to take you to task on your claim but you don't have a 122 so I guess we can't compare apples to apples.

Again, you missed my point about rear sway bars. Volvo put them on most 2, 7 and 9 series cars with live axles. I don't really care that they didn't make them for 122, 140 or 1800 series cars. VOLVO PUT REAR SWAY BARS ON LIVE AXLE CARS! If they're so useless, as you claim, why did Volvo do that? Oh yeah...MOST of those cars don't get driven on a race track. In fact, a percentage that most would agree is close enough to zero to call it zero are track cars so why bother making a statement that affects approximately zero cars??
