i went to the junk yard and picked up a 36mm swaybar that i am going to put on my car but was wondering if i should change the rear also if so what size shuld i use . what sizes did these cars come with front and rear. i want this car to be able to corner real well . thanks in advance for any help.

 

the cars that came with the 36mm front had 24mm rears. Sometimes a slightly smaller bad would be better. Maybe grad a couple and see what works best

 

ok thanks

 

the 36mm and 23mm are a great match for each other

 

I heard there's still some understeer with 36,24 is that correct? Cause I was going to go with a 36 and aftermarket 25

 

i have the 36/24 combo and have had no issues from it. car handles great. poly bushings and endlinks make it better.

 

The rear bar will depend on your spring rate and what rear you are running. It will also depend on your driving style - azz out of neutral.

 

92RSRUINER, i have spohn 1" rear swaybar, it's too much swaybar for the rear, end of story, unless you have a 40mm up front or a supper light weight v-6 it's just too much bar, if you want it send me an offer, it's almost brand new

 

, im using a 3/4" 19mm rear bar, 24mm was too much.

 

Ok thanks guys for saving me money. And 1988-305-tbi, I think i'm going to have to decline on your offer seeing as you just said it's too big lol.

 

I used to ran the 36/25 and it was way too much rear bar, at least for my car. The car was too azz happy with it. Throttle oversteer was nuts and even under no brake/no gas turns, it oversteered. I went to a 24 and the car was much more balanced. I plan to try a 23 and 21 as well at some point.

 

I'll go against the grain here. I like more rear bar than most. I have an old (80's) Adams 1 1/8" rear, and love it. 36 front, Eibach's, poly all around. STB and sub frame conns.
I had a more "balanced" set of bars before (1 1/8", 7/8"). They were dull and dry by comparison.
