Addco swaybars - size question

Icarus

I haven't gotten any definate info in my searches on Addco stuff for my Mark VIII anywhere, so don't know for sure still whether to go with matched 1 1/4" bars, or one sized bigger in the rear so to rid the car of any understeer (with possible slight oversteer>?), or ???
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, esp. by those with front and rear bars installed!
Thanks,
Jon

Front, rear or both? If both, whats your take on the handling characteristics?

Rear is 1 1/8, IIRC. With the rear and stock front, the car handled pretty well for a 4000LB boat. It wasn't no corvette though.

I dont knw how it will do with the front 1 1/4 Havent driven it much except to put it on the trailer, and drive it off the trailer.

Well, it looks like I'm ordering a 1 1/4" set this week! :D

Thanks Mark and everyone for helping me decide which to go with. I think I'll be happy with the 1 1/4" as I don't want to loss as much ride comfort as the 1 3/8" set will take... I hope I'm not wrong, lol...

Forgot all about this thread. I drove my 98 around phoenix for a few days. It corners a hell of a lot better than stock ever did.

What about under/oversteer? You did both bars, right?

Do you have to drop the k member to install the front bar?

Nope. You can pull the engine do the sway bar, and put the engine back in. lol

Yeah, you'll have to lower the K-member.
