i am looking for a rear sway bar for my drag car. i have the stock one that came in a 88 rs. my question for you guys is how big is a 2000 b4c camaro? i found a local guy selling one on craigslist,

 

Why is a sway bar needed for drag racing? I can see for cornering. Is it torque induced body roll or something?

 

Yes but drag roll bars are very different from normal bars, usually much stiffer. And to answer the OP's question the 4th gen rear bars are 19 or 21mm so smaller than our 3rd gen's bars

 

thanks for the response man.

 

Here is a drag anti-roll bar for your viewing enjoyment.

Huge rates keep the car nice and level instead of lifting the LF tire (or twisting plus lifting both).

You probably have the 18mm, stock bars go as large as 25, but the 23 is much more common than anything else larger than 18, as far as I can tell. Forget the ads, go visit the salvage yards. Shouldn't be over $20. Take some 13 mm wrenches and some penetrating oil.

 

After I back halved the car with a 4-link, the body roll was really bad when I launched. It felt like the car wanted to change lanes. Installing an anti roll bar now pulls both front wheels evenly and I can just about let go of the steering wheel when I launch now.

I doubt an OEM bar would be as nice but something is better than nothing. Poly bushings are better than the soft rubber ones but rod ends are even better.

Here's a good race version designed specifically for third gens. It's very similar to a universal kit I bought off ebay. With the 4-link, I needed something that I could modify and work for my setup.
