1LE swaybar

I installed my 1LE rear swaybar last weekend and the difference is amazing. The car feels like it's on rails. After the subframe install, esp., the 1LE springs and the Z rated tires you can feel every piece of gravel in the road-which is ok, I like that.

Re: 1LE swaybar

Is that the rear 1LE bar?

I have the 1LE rear swaybar with poly bushings and it made a nice improvement. It kept the rear end from having that waggy feeling. They HUGE improvement was the 35mm solid front bar. Oh man, what a great mod.

Yep, the rear bar but with rubber bushings. Front bar is next although it is going to be a while. I'd like to do the springs at the same time.

Re: 1LE swaybar

That's going to be a rough riding Z28 if you put stiffer springs, and a stiffer swaybar on there. Mine already rides stiff enough and it has stock springs up front with Bilstein HD shocks and the 35mm front sway bar. It's not too stiff though, but any more would be too excessive for me.

You don't need to touch the shocks or springs to install the front swaybar remember.
