opinions on swaybars

[BallerMaro13]

Basically I want to get some feedback from you guys on the biggest sway bar setup that would be beneficial and still safe to use on my setup. I've ran across a great deal on a 34mm front bar and a 24mm hollow rear bar, will this be too much with eibach springs, kyb shocks, adj panhard, and (soon to come) adj lca's & brackets with 18" z06 rims? She's a 2002 m5 ttop.

I know it's an endless debate, and yes, i've done countless searches on swaybar sizes and all the rants and raves, but I wanted to get some respectable opinions on my specific setup and see what you guys advise...

Re: opinions on swaybars

I've got a hollow 32mm front sway bar up front, but am still running the stock 15mm rear. I don't know too much about spring rates and swaybar sizes, but typically what I've heard is most people go with a 19mm rear. Too big in the back and it will be similar to running a slightly larger than stock rear sway with stock springs; it can be unsafe.

You might be able to talk with Sam Strano. He's more of an LS1 guru, but he still knows some about these v6 cars. He sells a 35/25 combo, and might be able to give you some advice.

24mm is TOO large for the rear. I run 35/19.

Re: opinions on swaybars

would a 34/21 be a balanced setup? i've always heard 32/19 is a pretty sweet pairing but would a step up (34/21) on each end be overkill?

firebird--how do you like your setup compared to stock?

I run a ST 35mm front with a 21mm rear and it responds very well. With every other suspension mod on it.
