Sway bars on a 67 GTO
I already have a 1" sway bar on the front of my 67 GTO convertible and would like to add one to the rear. I plan on getting a complete kit with the boxed arms, bolts and shims. Someone posted on another thread that the rear bar should be smaller. Is there anything to that? Or, should i get the 1" bar for the back as well?

Many believe that the rear bar should be smaller in diameter.
However Ken Crocie of H-O Racing used to market 1-3/8" bars both front and rear. Ken knows plenty about making the A-body cars handle, he pretty much originated the current Pro-Touring build style and suspension with his Strong-Arm suspension kits. His '64 GTO had wide rubber mounted on 3-piece 16" Simmons wheels and could out-corner the current year Corvettes back in the late 1980s. I would buy the 1" rear bar myself, and perhaps combine it with a 1-1/4" front bar from a 2nd-gen T/A someday in the future. Bigger in the front works and so does both being the same size.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
