Re: sway bar? 34mm front /30mm rear

34/30 is going to set the car up LOOSE LOOSE LOOSE if everything else is typical-ish.

Stock, the 34 was usually mated with a 22 or 24 rear.

Since sway bar stiffness is approximately proportional to the CUBE of the diameter, a 34 will be at least 2½ time as stiff as a 24, if all else is equal. Probably lift the inside rear tire around hard turns on the brakes. (if it's lucky enough not to just spin out)

That's probably actually an "anti-roll bar" for drag racing; not a "sway bar" at all.

And that's "important"? would make them "matched", "right", "best", "ideal", and so forth, for what YOU'RE doing .... somehow? Just because "guy" was able to place orders from whomever for whatever, somehow has a bearing on what will work right FOR YOU?

Not the right parts for your application.

Re: sway bar? 34mm front /30mm rear

My 34/24 setup has me complaining all the time because my 24mm rear bar is just too big for me. I need a smaller one.

Re: sway bar? 34mm front /30mm rear

I have a 87 firebird with ws6 suspension. I measured with digital calipers and it has 36 front and 24 rear. I'm having a hard time finding frame bushing on the 36mm front. Anyone got any ideas? Respect.

Yes, I sell the 36mm front bushing kit in red or poly-graphite black.
