Default Do u get a 35MM/21MM sway bar with the Bilstein Level II?

I've been looking at buying a 02 hawk and it has the bilstein suspension option NOT the 1LE...Does the bilstein setup come with the 35/21 sway bar setup or the 32/19?

Pretty sure 32/21. I don't think any factory cars (4th gen) came with any bar larger than 32mm.

Just found out u are correct,the 00 got the 35/21..
I'd imagine this is a pretty decent suspension package as my 97 Hawk didnt have it

Are you serious? They had a 35mm front? I thought the only available 35mm front bars were Hotchkis, Strano, and Suspension Techniques?

Some did... only Ultra Suspension and the 01-02 SLP built 1LE's had the 35/21. Their front is hollow too, the rear is solid. And SLP no longer makes that bar (and when they did I didn't use it because they wanted $299 just for the front one).

If you have those bars, I do not have folks change them. Well, not the front one anyway since there is no gain. The rear bar we might change since mine is about 5-6 pounds lighter, and it's also 5-6 pounds of unsprung weight removed too.
