What about stock Trans Ams? I was told the front is 30 correct? What about the rear? Does it stay 19 or is it smaller as well?

Thanks fellas

That was my major concern for I had heard two different sizes the 30 & 32 front. Wasn't sure which one it was.

Does it any good to swap out the rear bar to a size bigger? Or is it a waste of money. I hear just upgrading the bushings on the factory ones will do just as much...

If you was going to up grade the bushings on:
1.Torque arm
2.Rear control arms
3. Panhard
4. Rear swaybar
5. Front sway bar
6. Etc,.

Which would you do the poly or duro's? I hear that the polys can be a bit too much as far as ride quality and some what abusive to all other componets. Where as the softer duro's are more gentle but still far superior to the factory rubber ones?

What is the car doing to make you think you need a bigger bar?

While we're on the subject, are the WS6 for 98+ 'birds the same as 1LE bars? Or the front bar at least, since it seems like they've all got 19mm rear bars.

As far as I know the WS6 98+ birds: The 32mm front bar is the same bar as the 1LE's
