Well looks like a UPR chromoly anti roll bar is the best choice as far as price. Fixing to get one and throw the dope on.

Bout damn time. Lol. I been driving the hell out of the 80. Gonna leave the anti roll bar hooked up when I install one. From what I see if you are not hard cornering it is ok to leave the links hooked up.

well after a whole morning of searching through pick n pulls i found a donor floorboard. its out of a 93 lx hatch and it is a little different but will do fine. now lets see if the rumors are true about the 86 and older cars using thinner gauge sheet metal is true.

When I fixed the roof rust, I used sheet metal from my 89 RS. I'll say the quality of a camaro sheet metal is superior. Lol. My camaro lives on.
