Default rear sway bar

what is the stock mm on a z28 sway bar?

is it recommended to move up to a 24mm? or overkill?

car is a daily driver/track car

suspension so far is !front sway bar, lcas, lcas relos, subframes.

so is 24mm good/bad/too much? explain.

search sucks right now.

Stock rear bar is 19mm. 24mm would be too big, IMO. I ruin a 32mm front bar and the stock rear bar and it works great. 35/22 is also a good combo.

I don't think he's looking for nice handling w/ the front bar deleted. So with that said, a 24mm bar may help at the strip, but will not help turn the car with more control.

If you want straight line performance, go with a drag-racing deisgnated sway bar, such as the Wolfe, Spohn drag bar, or BMR Xtreme rear bar.

If I remember right, they are 24 and 25mm.

I don't want to picture driving one of these cars with a bar like that out back and none up front.

If you must daily it with no front sway i'd say keep the stock, or upgrade to a tiny bit larger. I really would question the safety of a hard turn getting cut off or something with a big rear and no front.

So if it's a daily stick your front back on, or get a better one and a rear to match.

You can always pop off the front sway at the track.

If you DD don't delete the front and increase the rear very bad combo!
