For 930 guy's.... what sway bar sizes are you running in the rear?

I also would like to know if anyone knows where to get the stiffening kit (sheet metal) for the sway bar body mounts.
thanks for any help.

With the torque your putting down you'll need 30s.

I have stock 930 bars in my SC and have found they are not stiff enough for the modded engine. The rear squat is too much for my liking. The ride may suffer but with that excelleration who cares!

I think Rarly was thinking torsion bars. If you go aftermarket bars, definetly reinforce the sway bar mounts, the weak link of the system. I tend to go with heavier bars and keep the adjustments in their proper orientation with adjustable bars. I used 22mm AJ bars but their range of motion left a lot to be desired. I later went with SmartRacing hollow bars and keep the adjustments out toward the ends where they have better kinematics. I hope this makes sense.

I think you can get them from Performance Products.

Smart Racing has the weld-in stiffening kits. They're reasonably inexpensive, considering. The biggest problem is getting at the driver's side mounts, as the rear fuel pump makes it tough to get into.

Woops, need to learn to read. Sorry 'bout that.

thanks to all. I will try the 22mm and see how she does. I do have a 22/30 torsion bar combo and it does squat more then I would like but I never really lay into it untill about 20mph or so. I need to get a HP clutch from kennedy engineering before I really drop the hammer.
thanks again
