I wnat to get a thicker front and rear sway bar for my 92 lesabre any one have an idea what thickness the oem parts are?? i found front and rear sway bars by Addco it measuments are front: 1 1/8" thick urethane bushings all mountings incl. for $177.27 rear: 1" thick urethane bushings all mountings incl. for $169.32 looking for thoughts...

STABILIZER BAR, All Models, 30 MM 92-99 $124.35 $96.99

STABILIZER BAR, All Models, 21MM 92-99 $115.95 $90.44

These are listed at www.buy-oem-parts.com . They will probably be a few bucks cheaper at www.gmpartsdirect.com once you obtain part numbers. The bushings will have to be added to this at about $6 each and you should pick up some Energy Suspension end links at Autozone. $15 for the front kit and about the same for the rear but it has to be pieced together.

My advice would be to go to the wrecker and get them off a similar year SSEi. Including mid-frame bushings for the front, and hangers for the back, then the Autozone Energy Suspension endlinks. Bars should be much cheaper from the wrecker. Some SSE'* may also have the thicker bars.

If you put a 1" sway bar on the rear you'll be in for a world of understeer. Stick with a 32/21 setup.

The addco i've seen (on DP mind you) are 1mm larger then FE2 or higher suspension, but have a premium price. After doing my anti sway bars and poly endlinks i can say you'll be in for a world of fun

Will is right, make sure you get all center links for the anti sway bars.

depends on if they are tubular or solid...

stiffer front = under steer
stiffer rear = oversteer


personally ... not this is just my personal choice for suspension set ups... I would go with a F41 front bar... addco rear bar... urethane bushings for both.. and adjustable endlinks for both

but again that'* just my preference .. I tune for just over balance on the oversteer side... especially in a FWD car ...cause you can MOST of the time just claw your way out of oversteer ( and it pisses off ppl that seem to tell me all day long a FWD can't drift)

LOL, I tend to advise people a little closer to the safer non track car side I was waiting for you to come in

yeah like I said... it'* a personal preference...

most factory cars are tuned suspension wise to favor understeer .. and fwd cars just get it a lil more by nature.

from a performance tune point of view and personal preference ... I tend to tune more to to the oversteer side... also tend to like more agressively set up cars.

just upgrading from factory specs will help alot, I don't ever wanna get misunderstood there...

Definetly do not drive the car if possible with just an upgraded front. Feels like a loose race car, or like it'* going on 3 wheels. :?
