I dropped down to the 19mm, shown.

Re: 24mm Rear Sway Bar

shipping to 97058? Did you not like the 24? or did you swap because of the sport you were participating at with the vehicle?

$40 shipping
I upped my spring rates to #200, and installed a 12bolt. Guys at the track (road race) were using the 19mm, and a couple said they were contemplating NO BAR at all. The 24mm is too tight stock (IMO), but certainly with my new spring rates.
My philosophy is control dive & squat (front and rear weight xfer) with stiffer springs, and let it roll (lateral weight xfer) - especially the rear. There are other approaches/philosophies, but that's mine. I do put a lot of highway miles on my car. It is my vacation car.

Re: 24mm Rear Sway Bar

That's how I feel as well. I like the V6 thgen bar on the street and save the big one for the dragstrip.

lived in Mpls for 25 yrs, now live close to Road America, Elkhart Lake. I'll be here this Friday for a Concours d'Elegance d'Racecar!!!- FREE

A can’t miss spectacle for enthusiasts of all ages is the Nationwide Concours d'Elegance racecar parade on Friday night, which runs from the track through downtown Elkhart Lake to where the cars park along Lake Street from 6-8 p.m. Throngs of people fill the town and line the street. Led by a pace car and directed by the police from the track the quiet town is taken over by millions of dollars worth of vintage racing cars. The sound, while not as visceral as being at the track itself is unique in that you are seeing the pinnacle of vintage motoring rumble through public roads.
Crowds lean in and listen, fans whistle and throw their arms in the air. Standing ten feet from a 1,000 hp big block Can Am car, or the beyond mad 80’s Formula 1 turbo cars as they idle, shoot fire, and rev by you is a sensation that goes beyond hearing. Feeling some of the cars that once pushed the limits hard enough to ban driving down what could be Main Street in anywhere USA is inexplicably cool. As the cars park the crowd filters through the street to stand inches away from legends like the Porsche 917, 908, 906, Ferrari 312 and 312pb, Lola T165, 911 RSR’s, Shelby GT 350’s, and on and on and on.

Re: 24mm Rear Sway Bar

Ill be running around the same in the rear for a spring rate but i still have "factory" 10 bolt (2000WS6) and want to do road racing/auto x. Ill be using weight jacks... i have a 19mm in the rear right now i believe and it feels like theres one hardly there. But, i have all factory suspension. ALL, except traction arms. What do you recommend?

Re: 24mm Rear Sway Bar

Well, this is the classified section so I'll be brief.

#850 fr with WS6 36mm bar; #200 rear w/19 or 21mm bar. This is comfortable yet firm for street. DSE goes 950/225 and I think that's right on. I dialed it down slightly from that, but I also did it 4 yrs before DSE came out with theirs, and I have the alum LS2.
You can always make sure your brackets are all the way outboard on the 19mm and bushings tight. A high speed 4 mile lap is quite different from autox.

Ok, that's a bit of a drive and I probably won't be able to make it out there for the event.
Not a bad idea moving out that way though.
