Sway Bar Help???

[David Pozzi]

well they say not to run a front bar that is bigger than 1 1/8 and that the 1 1/4 bar is too big. thought that was kinda a stretch, because of that little bit 1/8. The other thing is they said, with thier springs a rear sway bar is not nessicary, do you believe that? With all my cars, the first thing I do is install boxed rear arms and a sway bar. Plus the originator of this B-body spindle swap was a company out of CA called HO performance and they used 1 3/8 bars front and rear. I have their Hot Rod aritcal called Knuckle Sandwich back in the early ninties that my father performed on his 67 olds and it works great to this day!!! What do you think

1/8" IS a big deal in bar rate, probably more than double the rate.



Did the HO suspension use stiffer springs? Stiffer springs won't need as much bar rate.

I'm kinda surprised GW wouldn't want to use a rear bar! If your front bar is a solid bar, then look for something to match it on the rear. Who's bar is the front bar? Maybe that company makes a matching rear?
