What's a good front sb to match the 24mm third gen bar?

What is a good front swaybar to match the solid 24mm rear sway bar from a third gen? I have a 01 z28 and already have the rear 24mm bar. Which other bar will compliment it best? I'm not looking to auto-x but would like to it handle even better than it already does. Right now you can deffinitly feel a difference between the front and back since I still have the stock front. Thanks.

I run the 32mm 1LE sway in the front and I also have the 24mm 3rd gen rear bar..

Seems to handle much better then stock...

In the process of doing 1le springs/shocks as well

The best you'll get is the Suspension Techniques 35mm or the Sam Strano 35mm hollow. A 24mm bar is to big IMHO. You won't be able to get the power down on corner exits.

The opinion about the 24mm bar seems to be the general though by everyone I've talked to. If I have to part with it, it won't be a big deal. I didn't pay much for it anyways.

Steve,

What do you suggest for a rear bar ??

Right now I'm 32mm w/poly bushings & endlinks in the front and the 24mm in the rear with poly as well..

The front feels awesome but now that I put those 1le springs shocks in I can feel the back kinda wanting to kick out..


How much are the 35mm front sways ??

Go to www.stranoparts.com . Sam sells two different 35mm bars. One, the solid Suspension Techniques bar is $148. The other bar is custom made for Sam and is hollow, it sells for $199. I still have the old one which is heavier and possibly slightly stiffer (and cheaper). Sam runs the hollow bar and many guys are now buying that bar for the weight savings.

Either one will do a great job in helping to balance the rear bar you currently have. You will also notice much less body roll and much quicker steering response. You won't be disappointed....
