Sway bar question i tried searching but didnt find an answer.
Anyways i have a 02 Z28 and i heard that i can upgrade the sway bars to an SS cause theyre bigger.
what are the different sizes between Z28, SS, SLP, WS6, etc..?

Unless you can get them for real cheap its not worth it IMO, you might as well buy a stiffer 35mm (strano) aftermarket bar.

That's way too much rear bar... And I'm sorry to say that you might have jumped the gun for two reasons.
1. I sell UMI's 35/22 solid bars (which are better balanced) for $319, the same thing you paid for those ST's and that rear bar is way too big for the best balance.
2. Even my hollow bars aren't $400 for the set and they are about 25 pounds lighter than what you are getting (which is a lot, no other place will you save that much weight for that little money, and the stock front bar is hollow so you are adding a lot of extra weight to start with).

but what Sam is trying to tell you is that you are not going to really improve the feel of the car with a huge 25mm rear bar. If anything just buy the 35mm front bar whether is be a Strano, ST, or UMI bar and keep the stock 19mm bar in the rear for now.

Well, ok. I think that's a bit of "it's bigger so it must be better" thinking there.
