    you should not attach the wheelie bars to the frame and also the rear end at the same time, your frame is solid and the rear is floating, when the suspension compresses from hitting a bump or a hard launch the bars will drop at the same speed the shocks are working, and they will smack the ground like a hammer. and also when it smacks the ground the bar will then change its direction and push forward to the front of the car putting unwanted forward presure on the rear end and suspension, these little cars with big slicks are squirley enough at speed without having to deal with a faulty suspension issue. you will either have to extend your shock mount up or down and mount your points to the rear end as pictured. and if those zoomies i see are connected to a motor that warrants the use of them, you will need these bars installed correct. thats my 2 cents for the night. by the way i really like that hot rod, could i see a side shot of it, please!
