I put the 22mm one i had from my old IROC i had, its huge and makes the rear a lot stiffer. Id just find a swaybar in a bone yard or a 3rd gen site. They came on IROCs and GTA's. Prb. can get one for next to nothing then all u need is the bushings.

possibly, but I believe there would be a difference going from a 22mm hollow to a 25mm solid. My buddy is running one of the spohn pieces on his car and it launches straight as an arrow, where mine kicks out to the right.

when running a rear sway bar 22-25mm on the streets with the stock front is it safe? I dont plan on canyon carving more into straight line performance,but lets say I'm on the freeway doing 70mph and want to just switch lanes and pass someone will have to REALLY SLOW down or does it even matter since its not such a hard corner..If I could just pass like this like I do now thats safe enough for me...Dont know alot about rear sway bars soo soryy for all the questions and sorry to the op for the hijack

I am ot sure how to respond to this....
I'm gonna go with sarasm

Nooooo!!1!! You will rexor!!11!! Putting a 25mm rear sway will make your car undrivable on public roads.


Seriously, I have no front sway and the spohn 25mm bar. The car handles as good as stock to me, kinda like a brick with weak springs. Fine for me but then I go by the rule of "Never floor it unless the car is completely straight"

If you're main concern is launching straight and level, then you probably want the Pro-Series Drag bar so you can adjust the preload.
