Default Which 1LE sway bar?

I see many people (LG Motorsports Included) recommending the 1LE front sway bar to people... I want to ask which one? The 32 or the 35? My friend's 98 Z28 1LE came with a 32, where as my cousin's 01 SS 1LE came with a 35... Was the incorrect bar on the 98 or what?

32/21 with 1LE springs gave me too much oversteer. I'd guess that you will have a much better result with 35/21 or 32/19 when using 1LE springs.

the 35mm front bar was an additional option on Chris' 01. It could've also been had with a 32mm front bar.

I know it was, but they are both considered "1LE" Bars so I'm asking Mitch and others which size they have and which size they are recommending to people...

'93-'99 GM built 1LE cars had the 32mm front bar.

'01-'02 SLP built 1LE cars had the 35mm front bar.

'93 1LE cars had base Z28 springs and a 21mm rear sway bar.

'94-'99 1LE cars had "1LE" springs and the same 19mm rear bar as a base Z28.

'01-'02 1LE cars had the 21mm rear bar.

I had a '98 1LE, and the balance was great on a road course, and a little tail happy on the autox course.

Good luck finding the 35mm SLP front bar. I have been looking for a used one for months. SLP no longer sells them.

Would the 21 rear be a good match to stock decarbon shocks and springs?

thanks,
Chris
