Re: sway bars




We will see....920 to my best research is a good cruiser ride and the bars are going on MS Cruiser, she has a 440. I am looking for "big changes" She now has the stock 318 bars. Not sure of the size.

I just put the .960's on my 65 coronet 'vert w/ a 318 poly and it
rides like a caddy...sorry...Imperial now. It's NOT stiff, harsh, or
anything else...a very smooth and enjoyable ride. My car is a cruiser
and I would not change to smaller bars for anything.

The .920s are good if your looking for steer ability on a Big block equipped
car, want to increase your load carrying capacity or help level / stiffen
the car out on tight corners. The .960s are for road race applications &
load increasing a high option car with a RB or Hemi. Both can slow you down
at the drag strip and take the driving enjoyment out of a cruiser. .890s
are good for all round driving. .810s are good for low option 6 cylinder
and A engines. Now if your drag racing with a little street driving the
810s & 90/10 shocks are the way to go for weight transfer. The heaver bars
work the same up & down and restrict weight transfer to the rear wheels and actually unload your suspension a short distance off the line about the time you hit second letting your tires spin instead of accelerating faster. When
your tires are spinning your not accelerating to your fullest potential,
ultimately slowing you down from point A to point B. The bottom line .890s
with a good set of shocks for best all round drive ability. I would invest
in a sway bar before heaver T bars unless they needed to be replaced anyway.
