Default sway bars and shocks

got my 69 luxury cruiser, ya know that L48 auto,but it's a 200r4 now with those whimpy 3:08 screws[but it lights up the 16x10 with some Kuhmos on them]. now down to forum experience: 1; have on back order since January those KYBs that are supposed to be matched for the composit spring. question to those running those shocks, do they elimnate the hopping in the rear? next question; do Blistens eliminate the hop? and those would be the HD? because the sports are more of a handling type of shock? been trying to get the new top on the blue car today. all day and didn't get much done. now sitting back and tossing a few Jacks and coke. 2; OK onto sway bar info needed. I want to have the smoothest ride possible. [if I want fast I drive the 6T8], but when I was getting onto the breeze way the other day [probably a little to fast, but heck it's a corvette] the rear buckled up, [it needs a rear sway bar]. now my options are OEM [ I like the diameter of those bars, but not the link ends] or aftermarket, smallest diameter is 3/4"?, then I need to change the front bar to a larger diameter or create an understeer situation. those big bars, what that going to do to the ride of the car?????Attachment 47791984 T
