Default WS6 sway bar? What will fit and hows the ride?

I have a pair of 3rd gen WS6 sway bars (36mm Hollow front and 24mm solid rear). Ive heard (from that other LS1 site) that the 24mm will fit and handle fine, but the 36mm wont. I thought they were all the same, just diff diameter between 3rd gen/4th gen, i know first hand many swapping LS1 bars into their 3rd gen. If it does fit, anybody else running that combo? Hows the ride?

and where can i get 36/24mm poly bushings/endlinks? thx

I do know that 36mm will fit our cars, im just not sure that a 3rd gen will fit our cars.

See Sam Strano, he also has a site that you can go to and post questions. I think its Stranoparts.com .

The rear will fit, the front will not. The front suspension is completely different between the 3rd and 4th gen cars. However, the rear suspension is virtually identical between the 3rd and 4th gen cars. Also, a 24mm rear bar is "a bunch" of bar, I'd probably upgrade the front to a 35mm bar and keep the stock rear or move up to a 1LE rear (21mm) or Strano has a 22mm hollow rear that is much lighter, but similar to the 21mm solid in performance.
