I just ordered a Strano front bar today review coming soon.


After a post I made and tons of reading I have come to find for my needs, a daily driver that will see some back road playing a 35mm hallow bar will be great.

The fact Sam not only helps us all with our tech here and heck he was nice enough to call me and double check my order was right! Is just more so reason to order from him.

I've got Strano's front bar and the 1le 21mm solid in the back. The car feels nice and balanced, (much better than the 32mm 1le I used to have up front).

FWIW, a solid 21 a my hollow 22 are about the same stiffness, but the hollow 22 is literally half the weight (about 5 pounds) of the solid bar. The reason the balance is better is because 32/21 really isn't "1LE" when the spring most folks are running are considered. Only one year 1LE used a 32/21 combo, and that was with a stiffer front spring, stock rear. When the springs changed, all GM built 1LE's went to 32/19, just like any SS or WS6 has.

Yeah, its a 'true' 1le bar, off a 93 - 94 (which ever year it was, I can't remember now) before they changed the rear spring rates. I would have gone with your bars, but I was a poor college student at the time and it was cheaper to go with one of your front bars that I bought second hand and keep my old 1le rear.

Sam does the rear bar come with the brackets/u bolts that go around the rear? Im thinkin about going ahead and ordering this ill have my rear out soon to paint it and figured it would be a good time to throw the new bars on.

No, the muffler clamp like brackets are re-used. The bar comes with new mount bushings, brackets, and endlinks.

I highly recommend Strano bars, front and rear. See this thread for more information:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes/513475-canyon-carving-street-suspension-setup-review-long.html

Basically they balance the car to a neutral setting during steady state cornering, and are strong/stiff enough to reduce body roll a signicant amount. The best of both worlds, and definately lots of R&D into them, that's why they work so well in so many situations.
