Noob question on sway bars
Tuesday, November 08, 2011 5:34 PM
Ok so I have a 03 LSS Cavy and was curious what size front sway bar was installed on these from the factory. Also is it worth the money to install an Addco bar to the front as i just bought one for the rear. Thanks for the help.

Look up stats on your car man, unless you did already.

I am looking for struts for my newly aquired Eibach pro-kit performance coils, If anybody has some?

03lss will have a 24mm which is 0.5mm smaller than the addco. In essence, it would be a complete waste to do the front bar, especially since you have to drop the sub frame to do it.

not a complete waste, man. dont forget by doing the addco bar he also gets the use of polyurathane d-bushings and end link bushings as well as that .5mm size difference.

personally, i see the benefit.

Meh, I'd rather run the moog hard plastic swaybar endlinks on the stock bar and just order the correct size prothane bushing. He wont notice that 0.5mm difference. Now if we knew the wall thicknesses of the two different bars then we might be able to say it would make a difference.
