Bigger RSB, what will change?

Will it be dramatic or not? I have the '91 F41 and the rear I'm swapping is from an '89 IROC with a 3.42posi, so I am assuming 22mm?

Gimme yer thoughts.

Just make sure you get a bigger bar up front, like 36mm, or else the rear will try and come around on corners

you have to make sure they are matched properly

get the 36 24 combo, works great

Larger bar in the rear will have a tendancy to increase oversteer or make the car loose.

I have a 36mm hollow front with a 21mm rear bar, so i can apply more throttle sooner without getting as loose.

ME, I also like that combination with a stockish setup and the same size tires F and R. with bigger rear tires and a heavier axle (9” ford) I tend to like a heavier bar and stiffer springs back there…
