I am going to let you guys know that ,(us I just discovered) ther is an article about 1200 performance suspensions in the club. There is a picture of the rear sway bar assembly,and now I understand what dimlight was telling me about the spring hookup . E couple years ago after installing my front sway bar,I oedered a rear bar from ADDCO,and it was a mess. Instead of the format I see here at the club's suspension article,the ADDCO bar was suposed to be clamped to the axle,which I did following the instructions,(contrary to the simpler and effective kind of mounting on the springs),and instead of mounting the ends of the bar(in case of the 1200 article,it is a eyeless end of bar)_...to the spring,close to the front spring eyes,the addco bar used links,as in the front,and I was supposed to drill a hole in the frame of the car to bolt on the link bracket,to which the link would connect this bracket(and the body of the car) to the bar,which had an eye at the end of both arms.I drilled the holes,but the bar was not made to fit and the links where leaning more than 45 degrees on both sides,and ADDCO never returned my calls,so I returned the bar,and ended up with a hole drilled on the frame. I can not understand why ADDCO does not follow the model dimlight and the datsun factory race suspension article shows,which is easier,no drilling nor welding required. I never ever did see a bar mounted like that(1200 race suspension) but it is great way to do it. have fun Jaime
