Author Topic: New Swat Bar GregP 1st Gear Member # 1558 posted                    Just added a 1 3/8" front sway bar at Sam Strano's suggestion. Bot am I glad I did. Relatively easy swap out ... maybe 2 - 3 hours on jackstands with some beer thrown in. My SS has 8,400 miles on it, and the stock sway bar plastic and bolts were not in good shape . Go figure, huh ... typical over torque until the plastic crushes. New sway bar is heavier (solid) and was immediately noticeable in handling. Corners FLAT. Period. Mine is from Suspension Technologies, Inc. Do it! You won't be sorry. -------------------- 2002 Camaro SS, NBM, 6-speed, !CAGS, SLP chrome Wheels, SLP lid, K&N, SLP cold air induction, revalved Bilsteins, Suspension Technologies 1 3/8" front sway bar, SS brake lines, 35th Anniv. stripes, billet pedals, Aluminum rocker covers, Monsoon, CD Posts: 67 | From: Monroe, WA | Registered: Jun 2002  |  IP: Logged HotWheelSS aka HTWLSS SSOA Director Member # 117 posted                       I think you'll be pleased w/an STB, too. Steve started to install our SFC's yesterday. We'll have them on the car for our trip to Bowling Green. We're thinking about taking the SST (SS Trailer) with us and could use all the chassis stiffener help we can get. The section joints in the freeways & bridges were hard on the car last time we went. See ya at the Friday Night Cruise tonight. -------------------- Do you own a '96-'02 Camaro SS?

Whoever said you couldn't run away from your problems obviously wasn't driving an SS.
