Front Anti-Sway Bar

Hey guys. I've got an 85 trans am that i'm looking to upgrade the suspension a little. I'm going to do new sway bar bushings cause the car needs it, and i was thinking about junkyarding a bigger front anti-sway bar while i'm at it. I was wondering how big my stock performance suspension '85 trans am bar should be, and what 3rd gen f-bodies will have bigger ones that i can swap in. Any other advice relating to this anti-sway bar swap would b great. thanks.

I'm not sure what you're currently running, probably a 34 mm. Some Camaros from 89-92 had the hollow front 36 mm and solid 24 mm combo (Get both). Some Firebirds, etc., from 86 to 92 had the above bars. Greaseable bushings are available from Spohn and Top-Down Solutions. Consider swapping in new poly end links as well.
