Our Pro-Touring rear sway bar relocates the sway bar from the lower control arms to the rear axle, which improves handling by allowing the suspension to freely articulate. The sway bar is made from 1-1/8” diameter alloy tubing to reduce weight and incorporates 3 holes to adjust roll stiffness so that the suspension can be tuned to match your suspension upgrades and/or track conditions. The sway bar is connected to the frame with adjustable end links that accommodate stock or lowered ride heights and incorporate hourglass bushings to allow 5X more articulation than a straight cut bushing. The end links are connected to the frame with our integral clevis/tailpipe hanger (pat pending) that allows factory exhaust hangers to be used with the kit. The kit includes polyurethane bushings and all hardware required for installation.

This kit has been very well received in the marketplace and I can personally say it works as I did the development on my own 64 and 68 Chevelles. I had our factory style 1" bar installed previous to developing this kit and the ride and handling the new bar offers is a huge improvement over the factory style bar. When you take out the bind in the lower control arms, the vehicle is more compliant and ride quality and handling both improve.

Is there one available for G Bodies? Are they on your site yet?

I see the old style for the rear but not the newer.

SC and C does have a bar like this for the G-body, at the bottom of this page, if Hellwig doesn't have one:

SC&C also carries the Hellwig bars:

am i to understand that this kit completely eliminates the front sway bar to be used with only this one rear?

No this rear bar is used to balance the car, and being that it is adjustable, it eliminates having to have several different rear bars with various rates to find the balance.

[Dave@Hellwig]

If you have tall spindles or tall ball joints like the SC&C stage 2 package, we reccomend our tubular 1-1/4" sway bar for the front. If you have stock geometry, our tubular 1-5/16" front bar is best.
