I'm planning on getting the 1LE sway bars for front and rear, however, I talked to a guy at Strano Motorsports who said he runs solid front and rear sway bars on his Camaro, but he also does autox with it. I don't want to go with a solid rear bar, but I'm wondering if a 35mm solid front bar, with the 1LE rear bar, would be too much, or help out? Thanks.

With your stock springs that should work out well.Robert - owner www.FirebirdV6.com/CamaroV6.com

What should work well, the 1LE front bar, or the 35mm solid bar? Cale, what did you go with?

The 35mm will reduce the oversteer you will get with the 21mm rear bar.Robert - owner www.FirebirdV6.com/CamaroV6.com

Well... I was going to go with Strano's recommendation, the Addco solid 32mm. However, I was approached by a guy with brand new Hotchkis SFCs and used 1LE sway bars with 3k miles on them. He wanted $250 shipped to my house. I couldn't turn that offer down so hence my current 1LE setup.
I am very pleased with the results of the sway bars and despite being equipped with stock springs/shocks my body roll did decrease along with the increased capability of cornering(Iam in a dilemma with what to do w/ springs being I'm mostly street but with the occasional drag and occasional romp around the twisties on back roads... not to mention the fortune I'll end up spending on shocks)
Anyhow. You can't go wrong with the 1LE setup (and it's "hella" cheap too), and while I'm sure there isn't a huge difference with the solid Addco - I bet you won't feel cheated.
Let us all know what you decide to do and if you're satisfied.

I think I'll try the 1LE first. I looked up prices, to compare:
1LE - $74.95,
35mm - $514.95 [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img] :eek: .
The Suspension Technologies 32mm from Strano was lke $150.
I can get the 1LE sway bars and Panhard Rod for $167 plus shipping, so I'll be going with that for now.Wife and a dog, they both think they\'re Kujo.<br /> <br />1999 3.8 A4 Y87<br />Navy Blue Metallic<br />BFG G-Force KDWS 275/40/17s, <br />WS6 Wheels (17x9)<br />Phoenix Transmissions 2400 Stall Converter<br />FRA, Holley Powershot filter, Whisper Lid, Ported Throttlebody<br />2000 manifolds, Flowmaster, WS6 Tail Pipes, <br />MSD 8.5mm Wires, MSD Coils, Autolite plugs<br />Performance Cryogenics treated rotors<br />1LE Sway Bars and panhard rod, 1LE front springs w/SLP Bilsteins, stock rear springs w/ 3rd Gen Bilsteins, BMR STB, KBDD SFCs, 1LE rear lower control arms, 1LE front lower control arms<p>1968 Chevelle Malibu 327 TH350Comment
