Default DRM Sway Bars

I see that Doug Rippie has 30mm front and 26mm rear swaybars available.

Are these the same as/as good as/better than the stock GM bars of the same sizes?

The GM bars seem near impossible to find.

Thanks,
DaveZ.

I believe those are the GM bars that they are selling. Being that the 30mm bar is discountinued (don't know about the 26mm), it will be very hard to track one down until an aftermarket company starts making them.

I was also looking for a 30mm front bar just a few weeks ago and I couldn't find one, so I decided to bite the bullet and try VBP's 32mm front sway bar. I am using their swaybars and springs. I thought I would have a problem with understeer, but it was suprisingly neutral this past Sunday at an autocross event.

Just my opinion on another option.

They appear on the website but DRM recently posted that
they didn't have the 30mm bar.

Take a look at Addco. They do not have the 30mm but you might
find that their other choices could give you an improvement over
what you have now.
