Sway bar for Wayne Due C5 frame?
Calling anybody out there with Wayne Due's C5 subframe. I just bought another car ( a finished '67 LS6 Camaro) and it has one of Wayne's C5 subframes. The car handles well, but the ride is too soft, with more body roll than I'd like.
I want to upgrade the sway bar, and possibly the front springs. The car has a regular style (not splined) front sway bar. It looks to be only 1" diameter. I was told by someone else that Wayne's standard bars were off-the-shelf parts. I am thinking this is just a factory C5 sway bar, but am not sure. If it is, I have plenty of options for upgrading.
I just sent Wayne an e-mail, but I hear he is hard to get a hold of these days. If anyone has any info, it will help me a lot. Thanks,
Andy
ps: I'll be posting some pictures of my car soon

Mine has a 3 piece 1 1/4" splined from Speedway Engineering. I can't tell you how it handles yet cause I'm still building.

My '67 has the one piece bar, and I want to stick with that style. I just want a bigger one. Hopefully someone will chime in.

Was anybody able to solve this issue. I’m currently trying to find a sway bar for my 68.

Damn…bringing me back to 2006! Originally Posted by beyonda68
