Whose rear bar are you using on your set-up? Do you like it - appearance? performance?

I've only considered Global West and Hotchkis. Any other rear bars you'd recommend with a fully modernized, tubular GW suspension on a '70?

Thanks.

I have a stock GM F41 bar on my car now, but after the new springs, I won't need a rear bar.

Thanks for the replies. I'm leaning toward the Hotchkis rear bar, but I'm interested in what else might be out there that guys have had success with on upgraded suspension applications. I don't think my springs are going to get it done alone.

Who else makes good performance bars that look good?

Thanks again.

I used a no-name bar from OPGI and it appears to be very well made. I can't comment on the performance as the car isn't on the road yet, but a similar sized bar (Addco) on my coupe does very well with a relatively soft (stock) springs.

I'd rather have a bar that is shaped more like a stock bar which is mostly straight but with a slight bend right under the differential, but this bar is not made that way. However, the price was very reasonable and it fit like a glove. You can see photos of the bar on my wagon web site, just visit the Chassis section.
