If you have the Good ones, you need to find  a left and right spring perch. That is the piece that mounts the rear end's U-bolts and holds the bottom of the shock. It is the plate right under the rear end tube, unless you have a sway bar plate. If you have the cheap ones, that go under that plate, you just remove them.

Those competition engineering bars look pretty sweet, but I don't think they make those for ebodies yet do they?  I couldn't find it on their site, and the article only mentions a- and b-bodies I think.

The only potential drawback I can think of is that I don't know if we can still mount a rear swaybar with that plate.

If it'll work for our setup, I'll bet we get the best traction with those!

I was wondering if  the CE bars were made for Challengers too. You don't see them advertised any where. :clueless:

I don't think that it should make a difference between Cuda's and Challengers. They're both ebodies. The rear frame sections couldn't be that different. I'm going to look around and see if they will fit e-bodies in general. Will post if I find something.
