C3 Sway bar question
72vet:
Looking at replacing the front bar with VP&G product, while I'm at it, might fit a rear one as well.
What size front and rear combination is the best for road use on a S/B? Plus do I go Solid or tubular.
demonx:
Theres heaps of info on the corvetteforum.com C3 section about the VBP stuff.
I'd search there personally. Good luck.

Very True, but:
There's no info on this forum about sway bars. :grr: and I would like to know what the guys have on their cars here.

It all depends on what size front bar do you have now or are looking to get. Your rear shouldn't be more than about 65%-70% of the diameter of the front bar due to increased oversteer. VB&P have front and rear bar kits that match.
I'd recommend a 5/8th (15mm) bar at the most for most C3's, but then it all depends on how you like to drive! :evil: You'd probably have a 1 inch bar on the front now?
I borrowed a 5/8th for my old '77 and I loved it! But I also had stiffer springs all round. I have a Greenwood suspension book and he says go soft springs and BIG sway bars.
Most bars are solid - never tried tubular.

This is the kit I run and i'm very happy with it,rides firmer but not harsh at all and sits nice and flat in the corners.The front went down about 1 inch and I have no clearance issues even with a windage sump.
