Tony- You can pick up a front sway bar for cheap at your local boneyard. 70-81 F bodies, Camaro and Firebird, will bolt right on. Some, but not all later models from that range had a 1.25” front bar. I think I paid about $20 for mine a few years back. I wouldn’t expect them to be much more than that now. For the rear your best bet is probably buy a stock 7/8” bar. They can be found used from time to time, but I think the repro ones are running about $90. You can go bigger, but I think for a driver, not a canyon carver it would be plenty.

Long time reader, first time poster. I currently have my wife's 71 malibu in the body/paint shop. I was talking with the supervisor there yesterday about our suspension. The front end needs reworked and I also opted for new springs and sway bars all around. Where is the best place to buy these items without breaking the bank ? The car is gonna be a weekend cruiser, and of course we'll be at Chevellabration and a few other car shows. What I'm getting at is I don't need a high dollar suspension overhaul for the car, but I want good drivability and handling for it since it is the wife's. A few more details, we are going back basically stock wioth everything, we rebuilt the matching #'s 307 motor and 350 trans and everything else is stock. You guys just give me your ideas what I need to have a great driving car without a whole lot of expense. I do want to get at least 1 inch sway bars. Thanks for any info and the info I've gotten from this list so far has saved me a considerable amount of time and labor on our car. Thanks again guys.
