Like I said just a theory.

I think this is probably not as much of an issue on the GTO/A-Body bar, since it doesn't tie into the body at all.
My '68 Bird convertible had a big old honking aftermarket Herb Adams bar on it when I got - the kind with the drop links that tie to the body. Hanging a sway bar from a Firebird convertible body IS pretty funny. I took it off, and not surprisingly.... no difference.
Anyway, didn't mean to hi-jack the thread - just read it from start to finish. That's a really killer car you've landed, Chris. Congrats!
