Default sway bar question...

...i tried doing some searching but found no particular reference to what other hardware must also be taken off of an '86 4000csq to mount its front sway bar to an '86 CGT.

any help is appreciated as i would like to pull it before it gets too damn cold here lol

IIRC, all you need are the two long bolts that hold it on and the bushings.

Default Here's the way I see it...

I directly compared the 26mm bar to the stock Coupe bar last weekend, and the 4KQ bar is significantly thicker. Since it's thicker, it can handle more stress and is less likely to bend. It tightens up the front of the car, and with the addition of the coveted Addco rear bar, will make the car more tight overall.

Default Well, I personally don't think it does much besides look cool...

Blau had one available, but I think they sold out. It may add to the stiffness of the front suspension, but I don't know to what degree it would.

It helps in the front, not much difference in the rear though.
