I've been reading posts and there have been good reviews of the 1 1/4" rear swaybar , wich would be better 1 1/4 or 1 3/8 swaybar? . is there any trouble with over-steer? who has bought them, what size and if they like them?

Great question, I'm having my air suspension REMOVED and I'd like to know whether or not I should "beeF up" the front and rear sway bars ????????????? :feedback :dancefool :dancefool :dancefool

iv got the 1 1/8 thats fine for me, handls great.

1-1/4 if you want spirited driving. 1-3/8 is too stiff for the Mark and really, really hurts ride quality.

If you are really in to racing, then I would recomend just removing the front sway bar and keep the stock one in back. This will afect haniling, but this trick Has ben used by the F-Body guys since 94 and really helps pull thoes front tires off the ground.

1/8 .125 dia. Bigger makes that much different?

oh sure it does take a piece of 3/8" pipe and a 1/2" pipe and put a torsional load on it see which one gives first.

what size is stock thats on the car?

If you get bigger than 1 1/4" (which means 1 3/8" for you metric people) it is highly recommended that you do the front swaybar as well. While the rear swaybar can be done in 30 minutes by a good mechanic, the front swaybar is a bit harder. It requires the car to be lifted and have the K-member dropped a few inches.

That, along with my preference for comfort, is why I am going for the 1 1/4" from Addco.

where are a few places i could buy one?

www.supercoupeperformance.com or if you can get a hold of addco directly, some how, i dont know.

anyone recommend this? because it looks like the previous owner to my car removed the sway bar links in the front. I took it in for an alignment, and they won't do it without the sway bar links in there. - they said its required for an alignment...

I don't see what the sway bar has to do with alignment.

i dont have sway bar links (front) on my car... so the sway bar is just there, not connected. my ball joint had a buncha play in it, so they wrote - required for alignment - replace ball joint, sway bar end links. well i replaced the problem ball joint with a whole new lower control arm
