'94-'99 1Le suspension - rear sway bar Is the '94-'99 1LE rear sway bar the same as in my '00 Z28?
I know the front 1LE bar was 32", but I think only the 93 had the larger 21" rear bar.
I'm considering to upgrade the sway bars to 1LE and just wanted to see if I needed both or just the front.
Thanks.

Standard Z28 bars - 30mm front, 19mm rear
SS/WS6 - 32mm front, 19mm rear
Rare optional SLP set - 35mm front, 21mm rear
Should be the same for all 4th gens.
I did the upgrade from the 30 to 32 and added poly bushings and links. It was a noticeable improvement with no penalty to ride.
I JUST did the Strano set and it was an even bigger upgrade, again no penalty to ride. Corners and turns FLAT. Should have done this 2nd, right after shocks.

The 32/19 with poly was noticeably flatter than the 30/19 with rubber.
Strano's bars were an even bigger step up over the 32/19 than the 32 over the 30. They should have all had this setup, and added the Konis on the SS/WS6. The Strano bars were the best addition to my car, except for the shocks. The car corners flat as hell now, yet remains very neutral and predictable. If you are fortunate enough to have the 35/21 set that came on a few of the SLP cars, it is probably not worth the upgrade. The only difference is dropping 10# of unsprung weight off the nose and 5# off the rear. It's a really nice driver now, to the point that I am very conflicted about the Konis.
