Another sway bar thread.

OK, I wanna know what you all think I should do. I wanna get a set of sway bars (I only have the front one on my car). But I'm not sure if I should get aftermarket ones, or F41 bars.

The car is basically stock. It's not lowered and I plan to keep it that way. I'm running close to stock size tires, no plans of carving corners with this car lol. The only upgrades to the suspension so far is just the trailing arms and anti-hop bars in the rear.

I don't want to keep up with a Vette or anything, I just want it to handle a little better.

So with my set up I'm thinking that the aftermaket ones will be a little to much for this car. And that the F41 ones would be my best option. What do you all think?

with stock springs, since the rate is pretty low i might go with a decent aftermarket bar. say the hollw 1 3/8 hotchkis bar. but to save money i'd first try and find the 36mm hollow camaro bar and see what that does. 36mm is approximately 1 3/8 so you may even be able to reuse the bushings if you do switch. the f-41 works very well with stiffer springs, but is only mediocre with stockers.
as for the rear bar, it's pretty easy to over stiffen the rear and get oversteer, which can be fun, but dangerous. i'd just stick with stock for now. IIRC there was only one size rear bar.
you might also want to look for the f-41 front braces while you're at the junkyard.

Well I mainly want the rear because I heard they help on g-bodies for launching. And I already have the front frame braces, the braces that go across the front of the rad, and the braces that go over top of the engine bay (got them from my Bonneville).

I was mainly thinking of going with the F41 bars because I can get them alot cheaper than the after market ones lol.
