I suggest that you talk to Sam Strano about sway bars, and how you intend to drive, before you spend your money. When I first contacted Sam, I had a heavy 12 bolt rear in my '99 Firehawk with the stock springs and shocks. The Firehawk already comes with an upsized 32mm front sway bar. The car was actually dangerously out of control when driving on bumpy roads. Sam sold me KW adjustable coilovers and told me to wait and see how I liked the ride before buying larger sway bars. I can tell you that the new springs and shocks totally transformed the car into a modern handling sports car. The ride is certainly stiffer than stock, but not too harsh. After the suspension upgrade, I did the Tail of the Dragon, Back of the Dragon, and The Carolina Snake with a bunch of Camaro guys. The Camaros were late model RS, SS, and ZR1, and I kept up with all of them in the curves. So now I don't have any interest in changing the sway bars. BTW, I also swapped out some old greasy Kumho tires for new sticky Pilot Sports.
