Front sway bar set up for a 1973?

Need analysis on what is the best, high quality, best performing front sway bar set up out there. Don't want to have to do this again down the road. What is the s***?

So far after some snooping it seems that Tarett has a quite nice set up. Do they use the factory sway bar or does it include there own?

I was told when I bought the car that it was a 2.0 from the factory. Not! I guess I'm going to have to remove the fuel tank and drill some holes.

Smart Racing seems to be the best. Tarrett is quite good. Weltmeister is decent. The prices go in that order as well.

Any of them should work pretty well.

Thanks Dave. Do you know if the Tarrett set up includes the sway bar itself?

You may be able to buy the drop-links and such separately, but a sway bar kit should include the bar...

The only real reason to change bars "down the road" is if you need a larger/smaller one. Seems just about any of the bars work fine. Admittedly, some have finer adjustment.

Well I've got nada now so anything would be a treat.
