You are speaking about the front sway bar aren't you? Do you know what other rear bars fit our cars?

I have the big bar on my '70. I believe it might be 1 1/4" on the F-body cars, and 1 1/8" on A-body cars if it came that way from the factory. Don't quote me on that. I bought a 2nd-Gen F-body bar off eBay. The improvement in handling (and more specifically, less body roll) is drastic. I love it. However, I think your car needs to be in the 11s before a sway bar could really hurt your straight line performance (more specifically, hindering weight transfer). Unless you trailer your car to the track, I wouldn't recommend disconnecting the sway bar. As for the sideways motion, Lahar, I think that's called a powerslide.. :) (or bad bushings) -Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Michael Pell Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 8:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Anti sway bar (removed?) BTW: the thick anti-sway bar from a 2nd gen f-body will bolt right up. Find one from a '78 T/A or so. I can't remember exactly what the diameter is, but it's like 1 1/8" or so. It'll drastically improve your front end handling/cornering if that's what you want. However, it will hurt your straight line performance, if that's what you want.
