Default Does it matter which rear sway bar?

I am looking to purchase a rear sway bar. Just wanted to know if it matters as to which one I get? Like brand; sizes which is best? I have a 2002 Z28. Thanks.

Yes it will matter. What do you plan on doing with the car. Are you setting it up for drag racing or handling? It will make a difference. Give me a call if you have any questions.

Can't go wrong with UMI, BMR or Sam Strano.

It does matter, and in fact the front and rear should match well.

I don't think it's ok to only put on a rear bar (borderline ok w/stock 32mm, no way it's fine for a stock 30mm bar).

32/19 and 35/22 combo's are well balanced IMHO. This is why my bars are 35/22 and if the person doesn't need the extra roll stiffness I'm ok with the SS/WS6/1994+ 1LE 32/19 combination.

Love to sell you a bar. Won't until and unless I know why you think you need to upgrade it before anything else. You might have a big old 35mm front already, and if so that'd change things. But I'm guessing you don't based on how the question was asked.

Okay Sam PM Sent. I appreciate everyone's input. I am looking for what's best for my car. I probably didn't ask the question right but I am getting closer to what I need.
