Addco Sway Bars
I've searched around the site, and I've found mention of them, but not a lot of helpful info.
A few questions....
Has anyone actually installed them? If so how are they?
For my 97, are they as good or better then an FE2 suspension, or are they worse?
Would my 91 benefit from installing an Addco rear sway bar?
Thoughts?

Ive never heard of one being installed on an H-body.
Theres a few W-bodies running around with them, everyone says theyre better than the GMPP swaybars, but Id only believe that comment from someone who had used both.
Theyre a tad overpriced in my opinion, and I think the difference between it and an FE2 swaybar might not be noticeable enough to justify the price difference.

I looked into them quite a bit when I was researching. Customer support was less than desirable and parts listing are half-assed at best. If they haven't gotten their head in the game in the last two years I wouldn't bother with them. They had one bar that might fit and I don't think it'* even got the right bends. F41 + Poly ftw.

The Rear Bar that Addco has is a 7/8 .... Pretty much what you would find on any 1992-99 SLE, SSE or SSEi with FE2 or F41...
Its cheaper to go to a yard and pilfer one from a 92-99 Bonnie...
Your 91 has an 18 mm rear, but keep in mind the weight differences between the 2 cars...
But thats not to say it isn't worth you time to try a 21mm bar on the rear of the 91...
The 97, is 32mm front and 21mm rear
The 91 is 32mm front and 18mm rear
