Really? I left the factory one on mine because I thought with the 3 link type suspension it might need it for roll control.

If you are running the torque arm and lower control arms without any kind of traction bars added, a pretty big sway bar is needed. I have had good results using BMR parts.

I personally don't like the bolt on traction bars. They move the IC way back and can put the torque arm in a bind.

Anti-roll bar from ATE race cars , its works better than swaybars and air bag in the right side. and its lighter
Pete Z really knows the 3rd gen f-bodies

We had great results with the Spohn bolt on sway bars. Basically a bolt on anti roll bar.

Does Pete Z have a website? Tried looking with ATE race cars but couldn't find anything useful. Did see " race car driver ate scorpion ".
