I bought a 1 1/4 inch front and 1 inch rear solid sway bars for my 66 BBC Chevelle from PST when I bought new polygraghite bushings all around. I just finished rebuilding the front end and installing the front sway bar last week. I can't speak to the handling because the car is not quite done yet, but the installation was straight forward.

I am putting in a front sway bar for a 1970 chevelle malibu 350 street/freeway driver. I got three sizes in mind: 1-1/8" 1-1/4" or 1-5/16" I'm really not familiar with these things so I come for your help. I don't know which is best. It's a street car. I don't race the car, but I do a lot of corner turning around street and through hills too. I just want the perfect size bar, which will not do me more harm on my car than good. Sometimes I hear that smaller is alright, but not that good and that a bigger bar is better but not that big. My car specs: I don't have any sway bars installed? Should I get the rear sway bar first? Can there be only one sway bar installed? Or do both front and rear sway bars need to be installed on the car and used at the same time? I just recently rebuilt my rear end: 12 bolt 3.42 gears non-posi, new axles, new everyhting. I also have new rear lower box control arms, all new rear rubber bushings, and new Bilstien shocks. Hotchkis coil springs front and back. For the front end I just installed new MOOG inner and outer tie rods, new upper and lower ball joints, and new idle arm. I'm running a 350 engine with a 350 tranny and with an MSD HEI Ignition kit. thanks guys -- ___________________________________________________ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com/
