sway bar help???????
I have an 87 Camaro Iroc 350. I am trying to find out what size sway bars I have.Mine appear to be stock so What was offered for this year? I measurd but I am VERY bad at math so when I was measuring in inches my conversion to mm's seem way off. My measuring in inches seems to be way off to. But heres what I got in 1 11/32" or 34.13125mm front and 1 1/32 or 26.19375mm.
1)Is that math correct?
2)Do those seem like normal sizes for an 87Iroc?
3)I read in the archives that the biggst an 87 Iroc had was a 34mm solid bars and 89-up had 36mm hollow bars. If correct, Mine being 34mm solid, does that make it stronger and better than 36mm hollow? Or would I benefit from an 36mm hollow bar?
4)I got 26 mm measurement for my rear but wasnt 24mm the biggest offered?
5)What where the real sizes offered for 87 Irocs?

Maybe it was 31/32 instead of 1 1/32? That would be about 24mm which would go with the 34mm front. I think weight is the only difference between the 36mm hollow and the 34mm bars.
