They are getting ready to order a bunch of parts for my 69 Firebird at V8TV and they asked me what I want to do about the sway bars. I originally told them to just reuse the stock one but now am questioning that.
The car is going to have a QA1 coil over kit in the front, DSE 3" drop springs in the rear and Global West Del-a-lum bushings front and rear. We are also going to get sub frame connectors as well.
This car is going to be a weekend cruiser and for the whole family to enjoy not a track car but if I can gain a real noticeable advantage in handling with the bars I will do it.
First I will say I am no handling expert. I guess I never thought the upgraded sway bar was needed unless you were really pushing the car. I am open to comments, is a bigger bar worth it? I can be talked into this. I could even be talked into a rear bar if it makes a huge difference. Thanks Steve.
Here is a link to the build:
