I am getting to the point where I'm ready to buy sway bars for Jigsaw.
I've looked at this car as maybe a bit of a milder build than my other car.
Less spring rate, smaller torsion bars, smaller tires, smaller engine (383) and a smaller build cost.
I have also considered how I could buy new parts and install them on the red car and put the hand-me-downs into Jigsaw.
In some cases, I can't get clear specs on the sway bars that are offered.
I looked at the PST website and their site isn't very helpful.
The Hotchkis site lists a solid and a hollow bar but not the thicknesses or rate.
Helwig's site is pretty much the same.
Firm Feel lists their sizes and prices. They are also quite spendy!
I currently have a 1 1/4" front bar and a 3/4" rear bar in the red car. It corners quite well with this setup. I have 1.15 torsion bars and the rear springs have 6 sections. I don't know the rear rate.
Jigsaw currently has the smallest factory bar, .88s. The leafs have 5 sections. I am considering a 1.03 torsion bar.
What sizes and brands do you guys use?
