Sway bar questions...

Whats the best year sway bar from the 3rd gens? Is there any difference from the IROC, GTA, z28, etc? Which ones the best one. Cause I really need a new rear sway bar. Cause the RS one is so damn small. So I can get a used one from teh junkyard for 50 bucks. I can either get a 91-92 Z28, IROC, or Firebird. I think one of the Birds are a GTA. Can someone rate them? Like from the best to the ****tiest? Thanks.

The sway bars are quite different between the iroc and rs ones. I upgraded to the Iroc on my cam and the difference is quite noticable. the front one was about 1/4 inch thicker and the rear was easily twice as thick. I can go through hard road curves 20 MPH easy over the old ones...lets just say street corner turn at 35 no slippage...

waaaasap brah. this is Crazy Hawaiian from SpeedHawaii.com ... saw u at da cruze this past weekend (i was in the green s10 with vette lights). hey I bought some W6 suspension components from a 89 GTA (lower control arms and a sway bar) on ebay like a year ago for my 89 Camaro RS ... finally got the car back from my mom and decided to see if the shop I goto could install them. Turns out they are the wrong size and dont fit. if you wanna try see if they fit on your camaro you can have em fo free. just shoot me a mail (crazyhayan@yahoo.com) k den

The 1LE and WS6 use the same swaybars, there are no "1LE specific" swaybars.

replace them both at the same time. just a better rear bar will make your car loose.
