Where to find a 36mm Hollow Front Sway bar?

I am looking for a 36mm front sway bar for my 89 RS, does anyone know where I can find one or who might make one. I have tried Addco and they only carry 32mm hollow.

Find one off an IROC. You'll need new bushings, too. I got poly bushings from Guldstrand Engineering.

you will also want to replace your rear sway bar, to match, i beilve the matching sway bar is 24mm. if you don't have the front and rear matched, your handeling will be worse.

Actually if you are running a 36mm hollow up front and a 21mm in the rear that is the best setup for the 24mm rear bar is too large and stiff and cause the car to skidout. I am also going to run a ground control panhard bar and SLP reinforced lower control arms. i think this is going to be a great setup for either autocross or drag. The only reason it would make the car handle worse is because the driver can not compisate for the diffrence! JMO

Don't forget they were available on the WS6 equipped 'Birds too. I bought them new from GM (or so I thought). I sent both bars out for powder painting. Only to discover that they goofed. The front bar was for a 4th Gen instead of a ThirdGen. We picked up a used one at a local Pick-A-Part that afternoon. Good luck, Lon.
