Default Sway-Bar

In an attempt too tighten up the body sway on my 80 I have a question. What would be the max size sway bar to use both front and rear. Who sells them and what should I expect to pay for them. Thanks

If I may offer the voice of experience, DO NOT assume that bigger is automatically better and go to the largest sway bars you can find. Corvettes with unbalanced suspensions can be uncomfortable and dangerous.

The guys at VB and Guldstrand will give you good advice on combinations of spring rates, stabar sizes and shocks that will match your driving needs.

Call them and try their combos before designing your own suspension. You will save money in the long run by getting it right the first time rather than experimenting.
