streetstang67 Gearhead Posts: 397 From: SC, USA Registered: Nov 2002	posted 11-26-2003 11:19 PM I was going to upgrade to a bigger sway bar on my '67. I was thinking that since I'm replacing it, I should just go ahead and get the big one (1-1/8"). What are the pros and cons of a bigger sway bar? What diameter should I get? IP: Logged

streetstang67 Gearhead Posts: 397 From: SC, USA Registered: Nov 2002	posted 11-26-2003 11:38 PM what about the differences in 7/8", 1", and 1-1/8"? IP: Logged
Dubz Gearhead Posts: 1890 From: Manitoba Canada Registered: Oct 2002	posted 11-27-2003 12:36 AM The thicker sway bars give a larger cross sectional area (that's what is more important than the diameter increase) a bar with 2 times the width is 4 times as strong (as far as what i've been told) the bigger the sway bar the flatter the car will corner, good if you want a street car or car for road course stuff, but not so good for straight line(dragging) [This message has been edited by Dubz (edited 11-27-2003).] IP: Logged
