Best street/strip rear swaybar? I was thinking of going to a larger rear sway bar to help at the track. What is a good one that will work on the street also? Thanks in advance.

Re: Best street/strip rear swaybar? Lookout on how big you go on the rear sway or else you will probably end up with a tail happy Fbody.

Re: Best street/strip rear swaybar? I agree on the Susp. Techniques 1.25" rear bar. I had one on my '98 T/A, and it was GREAT! When I upgrade on my SS, it will be with the same one. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> It cornered MUCH better, but it wasn't so bad that it was trying to lift a rear wheel or anything like that (like the Wolfe drag sway bar). I believe it's around $139.99 through Thunder.

Re: Best street/strip rear swaybar? Then I think I'll take one of those shortly. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> My suspension mods so far are SFCs, LCAs, poly TA and tranny bushings. Thanks everyone.

Re: Best street/strip rear swaybar? I am using the Suspension Techniques rear sway bar as well, purchased through Thunder Racing. It really helped the car launch much straighter.

Re: Best street/strip rear swaybar? What about either a 1LE or F41 GM factory sway bar? Are they any good? Are they both 21mm?
How man mm's is the Suspension Techniques 1.25?

Re: Best street/strip rear swaybar? I just palced my order at Thunder for the ST 1.25" sway bar. I can't wait to get it.

Re: Best street/strip rear swaybar? Would it be a noticable and worth while difference switching from my 1" Hotchkis bar to this 1.25" Suspension Techniques swaybar?
thanks,
Steve

Re: Best street/strip rear swaybar? What is the Susp Tech part number for the 1.25" REAR sway bar? We are talking REAR here, correct? Damn, I had no idea they made one that big!
The Susp Tech. catalog lists the front bar as being 1 3/8" and the rear bar as 1" for 93-02 F-Body sway bars.

Re: Best street/strip rear swaybar? Are any of these swaybars loud like the Wolfe?? I rode in a car w/ the Wolfe bar and all I can say is......FUGG THAT SHEEIT. I want something that is gonna make the car handle a lot better, but still drive like stock. Possible?
