Hi guys,

So I have been doing small suspension mods here and there. My Z28 has 73k on it and I noticed my swaybar bushings in the rear looks like they need to be replaced.

I have heard many different things about getting aftermarket swaybars and I would like to get this subject straightened out with your help from past experience.

So if I were to just get a set of UMI 35mm and 22mm swaybars would it make my driveability suffer? I'm not talking drag sway bars here, I am just wondering is it worth it to the get the actual swaybars or just new swaybar poly bushings?

Are swaybars even worth getting, handling is a concern however

Also to further this, my car is just a weekend car that is garaged. I dont plan on getting rid of it and next summer Im putting a D1sc on it.

Your driveability will not suffer at all.

If you are into handling then yes, [a good set of] swaybars will make a big difference. UMI's are very well balanced being 35mm/22mm. Body roll will be greatly decreased, turn in will be sharper and more direct and the car will be tighter all around in corners. These are a very noticeable improvement.

Sounds great! However are the bushings that come with them poly? or the end links solve that issue?

JD_AMG

Pretty sure they are poly, but poly is ok to have in swaybar endlinks and swaybar D-bushings as they don't move or need to articulate like control arms.

Hi Raoul. Thanks JD.

Our 35/22 is a popular combo and provides a good balance as mentioned.

They come with poly bushings, end links, brackets, etc.

A moderate bar set like 35/22 will help the car stay flat yet comfortable.

Give us a call and we can fix you up.

Or go for some hollow sways like Strano's 35/22 ones and save some weight...
