Well , I just got in from driving it with the anti-hop bars. Wow.

To be fair the car had original bushings in the upper arms circa 1983.

The frame end bushing were replaced with a Stock rubber bushing for a Camaro. The Camaro bushing it supposed to be "harder".

The upper bushings on the anti-hop bars are solid. IMHO too solid, if you torque down the bolt, the arms don't move.

I milled the ends flat and used , of all things , valve spring shims to set them up. I assembled, greased, torqued and repeated until it was just right.

Now there is no slop but the arms move freely.

Now the car hooks and goes.

I did notice the car seems to "dig in" now when acelerating out of a curve.

Can't wait to do more testing on my way home!
