So I scored a 19mm front bar, wondering now about rear bars. This is for a fast road, touring event, ‘74 with a 3.2 build.
I like cars that are tidy in their handling but would prefer not to leave the road backwards... Also looking to confirm that I can always address the real sway bar later because it’s bolt on that does not require any welding work? Take me to school here please! |

It also depends on what else you've done to the suspension. Remember, the suspension is a system, and is usually best approached as a system.
For instance, stiffer rear springs can give you rear roll rate instead of a rear sway bar. Likewise, larger front torsion bars can give you front roll rate instead of a larger front sway bar. Tire sizes, alignment, and even driving style also play into things. --DD |
