Chewy is correct!

LOL, I had a 93Z28, had many suspension mods, I wanted the car to be a canyon BEAST, so I had the usual stuff, Eibach Pro's, Bilstein fronts & deCarbon 1LE rears, adjustable PHR, SFC's, solid 35mm front sway & rear 25 mm sway, I tell you what, in higher speed sweepers that sucker was AWESOME!

BUT, on lower speed turns, that rear sway would make the rear roll non-existent, which meant that the rear tires would break traction should I accelerate right before the turn was over, so that would be kind of scary

I figure the 19mm rear or 21 mm rear would be just fine if you want a more forgiving rear for corner carving. 24 or 25 mm rear sway will cause your rear end to not have any rear body roll, causing the tires to not be much more responsive, which when you hit the gas and you are not out of the radius yet your tires will start to spin, hence your rear-end drifting...

If you're cool wit DAT, then right on, go for it!

I have NO IDEA about straight line stuff though, I'm not a 1/4 miler.

I use a 35mm front, 21.5mm rear and that's all I would want.
