Default Is sway bars worth it for me ?

Alright im tryen to decide if Strano sway bars are a good mod for a street car. I like a nice tight feeling car with a smooth ride which i feel im on to. But each time i look at my dinky sway bar's im disgusted lol. So is it worth it ? did you feel a good difference ?

Yes swaybars are a good upgrade. Usually that is where I start when modifying an F-Body. Swaybars, then shocks and springs, everything else is gravy.

I went with a solid 35mm Suspension Techniques front bar and solid 21mm rear bar from a thirdgen and it was definitely worth it. I put my bars/bushings/endlinks/etc together for about $200. If you can afford it go with the Strano bars, much lighter and should performance just as good.

Huge difference. Although not as much of a difference as the Konis made, it was overall a very worthwhile mod.

Oh yeah, compared to a lot of the modifications people are doing out there like STB or subframe connectors, the swaybars are a modification that you will really notice.

I found the Strano set a noticeable improvement and
my car came with the fattest factory bars to begin
with.

I installed a set of strano hollow sway bars on my t/a.Man what a difference it made.I was supprised.Strano are good people to deal with.He is the man when it comes to suspension.The koni s/a's made the most difference in the car.The bars are well worth the money.
