Rear swaybar ... what is balanced?
I just installed the Strano 35mm hollow bar. Which rear sway bar would balance out my car for both street and strip usage? I'm thinking the 22mm Spohn solid chrome moly bar, but, then again maybe Strano's 22mm bar would be a good match, as well. What do you think?

Solid 19mm is stock (the 1993 1LE is 21mm, later SLP SS/WS6 1LE had 21mm as well). BTW, If you have Strano's bar, it should be a 35mm hollow.
AFA a good rear bar, I'd try Strano's 22mm hollow, since both of his bars are quite well balanced. If not, then you could always go for the stock solid 21mm, though I'd say that it would be heavier than the 22mm hollow.

Go with a 22mm hollow rear bar. Personally I'd just buy Sam's rear bar as well. Well actually I did, I bought it as a set and I think that's the only way sway bars should be purchased as the entire suspension needs to work together.

Yeah, I believe that's the route I'm going. Does anyone happen to know what the weight difference is between the 19mm stock solid bar and the 22mm Strano hollow bar? If not, I'll PM Sam Strano and ask him. Though he's a little cocky, he seems to be a pretty honest guy. His fron bar was actually 1.6 lbs lighter than he told me it would me. I was happy when I weighed it.
