1LE 21mm Rear Sway Bar Discontinued!
Looks like it's no more. I've tried two GM houses and they tell me that part #10021221 has been discontinued. They are also gone from SLP web site and inventory.
Have these 21mm rear sway bars now turned into a "like finding gold" item similar to the 1LE front springs?
Anybody know where to get a new one?

You can get Sam Strano's rear bar, which is 22mm. I took my 1LE rear swaybar off because it made the car understeer too much. I'm running 32mm up front (1LE) and stock rear (19mm). Car handles great, but it damn well better with all the stuff I've done to it.

What's the difference between a 1LE bar and any other rear bar? A bar is a bar to me when it comes to swaybars, given the same size. A strano, bmr, spohn, etc in the 21-22 mm range would all work fine. I wouldn't get a BMR panhard rod or some other BMR stuff, but the swaybar is fine since it's just a solid piece of metal.

Really that's true, but I figure why haul around the weight if you don't have too. I have both solid and hollow 22mm rear bars, there is about a $40 price difference which saves you about 5-6 pounds and the hollow bars come with bigger, beefier end-links too (since I specified those, which I don't do on the regular Addco 22mm solid bar). Also, you save a few bucks ($5-ish) on shipping on the hollow bar, just because it's lighter, FWIW. So the as delivered difference is about $35 and 6 pounds give or take vs. a solid of the same size.
Also, note that my bar is really equivilent to a 21 solid, a 22 solid is marginally stiffer.... And that was done on purpose.

And FWIW it's not just weight, but it's also unsprung weight too. Not only do you save a few pounds, but the car reacts better over imperfections too since there is just a little less mass to move and control. Not a HUGE change given the weight of the axle and all, but then again every bit helps because you actually end up lighter than stock, not heavier, which can even make DeCarbon's work a little better.
