Is anyone running the 35mm front 22mm rear sway bars on a stock suspension Z28 or SS?

I'm thinking about getting them, but I wanted to see what people had to say first.

 

everybody's going to tell you to get them Keith..

 

I know, but I still want input.

How do they make the car feel over stock? Less body roll in the turns? Does the car feel more planted and "tight" in the turns?

 

I love mine, car is more stable and less roll in turns. But if you really want an improvement in handling get some good shocks. The Konis made a much bigger difference than the swaybars. If I were you I would do that first.

EDIT: To get a little more in depth about it, the shocks not only made the car handle better, but ride better too. And its not just more grip in turns, it changed the way the car behaved. Its very neutral going in and out of the turn, no more unpredictable fishtailing, you have a much better sense of what the chassis is doing. The whole car is more responsive, like its on it's toes. The swaybars just added to the grip, better steering feel and less roll. Either way a very worthwhile mod.

 

 

yes

they are, after all, anti roll bars

and they're bigger (stiffer) than stock

 

I guess it depends on what you want to do with the car, what your budget is. Unless your under some extremely tight budget, I would definitely recommend going for them for a little more money than what you could get a heavier set of bars for. I don't have the Strano bars nor tried them, but I sure as hell would have bought them if I knew they existed way back in those days. I have a front 35mm ST bar and a 21mm BMR rear, but its the same roll balance minus the weight as me.

If what I was building was a simple daily driver, I would probably just start with shocks first and then consider bars later.

 

I just purchased the combo. I installed the front today. feels Very planted. seems to dive right into turns. I will be installing the rear either tomorrow or thursday (gotta work wednesday). So far I am very pleased. But i can tell where the rear bar will help and I cant wait.

 

Wait until you do the Koni SA's... Hint.

 

I think that is the plan. My Sea-Doo is for sale. Once that is gone, I think I'm going to drop some serious coin. I'm thinking about Strano sway-bars, Strano springs, Koni SA shocks, and UMI Panhard rod.

Definitely get the Strano bars......

 

Don't forget the UMI LCA's.
