I'd like to purchase a nice sway bar for my LS Series conversion (1976). Can anybody out there with V8 experience make a suggestion? I have no idea what size I should buy. Or is an adjustable the way to go?
Thanks, Walt |

You need to tell us your rear suspension. How does it handle now? Have you driven it? What type of driving do you do?
That is a 911 front suspension/sway bar. You need to measure that bar to determine what it is, You probably dont have to touch your suspension setup at all. Tell us what its doing (driving) and tell us what you want it to do (ie, it pushes, and you want it to be neutral, or it oversteers quite easy, or you want to autox and the last time you did all you did was spin, or you want to take it to the track). The common setup is 180 to 225 rear springs, no sway bar, then upgraded torsion bars and a medium sized sway bar or stock torsion bars and a large sway bar. Combine this with good shocks. The rest is sway bar adjustment, camber/ caster, shock adjustment, and tire pressure. Your car looks well sorted.. I bet you just got it and are really tempted to do stuff to it. but it looks like a nice car from under.. Whats it look like from the top? Is that j-lo? |
