Default What sawaybars are you running with DRM Bilsteins?

I currently have the JOC package installed and plan to install DRM Bilsteins shortly. Should I retain the JOC sways or is there a better matched swaybar for the DRM's? Thanks

I run DRM bilsteins with GM T-1's...the JOC sways are pretty much the same.

I thought the JO bars are a little smaller than T1?

I am running the Van Steel Bars 35mm/25.4mm which should be close to the JO bars, and I love the feel on the car (on street tires, not slicks, I have no input on slicks).

yes the JOC bars are a pinch smaller...I'm not sure I could ever notice a difference if someone crawled under my car and swapped them on me.

I am running the DRM shocks with the Johnny O'Connell sway bars with no issues.

I think the car handles great.

The trouble I have comparing bars is the bars are hollow and make it difficult to compare stiffness from bar to bar. Hollow bars with thicker sidewalls will be stiffer and the outside diameter could measure less than others. The pfadt chart helps except for those bars not listed like Hotchkiss, Van Steel and others.
