GTO Sway Bars?
Hi,
I'm looking to get a set of sway bars for my 05 GTO.
Now, I have stock springs with BMR drag bags, TSW Sakata
19X9.5 45mm wheels with 295/30/19 tires.
I've done an aggressive fender roll and run about 12 psi in the bags.
I have a little rub on hard bumps, mostly on the drivers side.
I've ordered Pedders #2589 5/16" raise Drag springs.
I have searched and have come up with :
Hotchkis Sway Bar Set 2004-06 GTO #2278
1 5/16" (33.5 mm) Hollow Front
3/4" (19mm) Hollow Rear
Front 3 position adjustable: 37%, 49%, and 63% stiffer than stock.
Rear 4 position adjustable 50%, 76%, 111%, and 156% stiffer than stock.
Around $360
Eibach Anti-Roll Kit System #3897.320
States as adjustable, but no specs on adjustment.
Also, some list as Front: 32mm Rear: 21mm, others , as
Front: 32mm Rear: 19mm.
Around $270
Has anyone got any advise on which is better, or the specs on the
Eibach adjustment?
I will probably have to go with a 285/30/19 rear tire to completely
stop the rubbing, but I LOVE the look and grab of the 295's.
I'm running 255/40/18 on 18x8 40mm wheels on the front, with no problems.
Thanks,
Larry

Do the Hotchkis. Did them before any other suspension mod. Huge differance. BTW, get rid of the drag bags and swap in some proper rear springs and shocks. You'll find the drag bags didn't do much.
