Sway Bars Posted By: rnrkid On: 01-04-2008 @ 11:55:23 Reply | Edit Do you guys think it's better to go with a 35MM sway bar up front rather then the factory 32MM? 35 seems like over kill to me, but some guys swear by it. One of my buddies said leave it off all together if I'm going to the 1/4 mile, but without it my front bumper drags on hard corners in dailey driving(i'm lowered almost 2"  . I'm keeping the factory 19 in back. What do you guys run?-- 2000 WS6 M6, Volant Cold Air, SLP Y-pipe and LM cat back, SLP subframe connectors, BMR panhard relocator,UMI LCA, UMI Adj. upper and lower a-arms, B&G lowering springs, ported and polished throttle body, 12 bolt Moser w/3.73's, cross-drilled vented rotors. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2355847 Posted By: HBHRacing On: 08-20-2007 @ 17:46:22 Reply | Top | Edit Handing/auto x etc etc = Front and back as big and you can go. Drag racing = none up front, big in the back. -- Owner of HBHRacing.com Xtreme performance products Click for new Fbody Tech Articles  Posted By: rnrkid On: 08-21-2007 @ 05:28:12 Reply | Top | Edit Thanks. I will probably not do any Auto X and will spend more time at the 1/4, but like I said, my front bumper drags around corners at speed. I have B&G springs and the progressive rate stays too soft for too long. I think for now I'll be putting the factory bars back on, and if I decide to auto x at all, I'll take your advice and bump them up in size and add some QA1's.

Yes not having it at the drag strip will help, but slightly and it's not worth the crappy ride while on the street the rest of the time. As for size, if you don't do any autoX or road course, I'd say just stick with the stock one. I run both stock sways on my daily driving 98' Formula. On my 94' Race Formula, I never run a front one, and have a BMR Xtreme in the back. --  Posted By: rnrkid On: 08-21-2007 @ 15:37:46 Reply | Top | Edit Thanks. I probably won't be running auto x with this car anyway. I'm throwing some new new paint on soon, and cones can really scuff the crap out of it. I havn't run the bars with the new springs yet, so I should see an improvement over stock. -- 2000 WS6 M6, Volant Cold Air, SLP Y-pipe and LM cat back, SLP subframe connectors, BMR panhard relocator,UMI LCA, UMI Adj. upper and lower a-arms, B&G lowering springs, ported and polished throttle body, 12 bolt Moser w/3.73's, cross-drilled vented rotors. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2355847 Posted By: Killer_BlueBird On: 09-19-2007 @ 02:25:49 Reply | Top | Edit I have 35mm solid and 21mm stock rear and love it but I do Auto-X and go to open track days. I also daily drive it and like it on the street just as much but you'll be fine with stockers if you are more into drag racing. You may want to put the biggest bar you can get in the back and just disconnect the front end links and zip tie the ends of the bar up at the track. --  http://www.fquick.com/garages/Pontiac/Trans_Am_WS6/2002/8842/ [ Edited on 09/19/2007 @ 01:47:41 ] Posted By: rnrkid On: 09-19-2007 @ 14:39:52 Reply | Top | Edit Has anyone done a comparison with a mild modded car of sway bar/no sway bar. It's probably not even worth me pulling the front on drag day. If it's only a tenth or so, I can deal with it. -- 2000 WS6 M6, Volant Cold Air, SLP Y-pipe and LM cat back, SLP subframe connectors, BMR panhard relocator,UMI LCA, UMI Adj. upper and lower a-arms, B&G lowering springs, Spohn torque arm, ported and polished throttle body, 12 bolt Moser w/3.73's, cross-drilled vented rotors. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2355847 Posted By: FROMLT2LS On: 09-20-2007 @ 14:30:23 Reply | Top | Edit Fbodies have a front sway bar ? lol -- 1998 Trans Am 348CI,A4, 450 RWHP 410 RWTQ N/A !!
