Yeah, but that was from a bunch of clueless people who are no longer on the
list due to crashing their SHOs ass-end first.

No, I'm not really kidding!!

In my arrogant-and-never-humble opinion, suspension suggestions from folks
who have never done a road course are worth what you paid for them....

A good driver can make a stock SHO with stock tires handle very well.
Changes can help that driver to do things better. The original '89 & '90 SHO
came with the 24/26 bars, are the later (slightly stiffer) models had lesser
bars, but the handling was not appreciably diminished.

FWIW, my current '94 had the stock 24/23 bars on it. I installed the 26mm
rear bar before the Convention. The street "feel" was NO different. The AL
SFBs I had installed a few weeks earlier felt better, and the Yoko ES100
tires & the new alignment felt MUCH better....and this was before the 26mm
bar was installed.

That's interesting.  When I first joined the list a few years back, it
seemed the wide opinion was that the first mod (after airbox cone) should be
26mm rear bar.

Sure, if you toss the 26 on a car with a small front
sway var and no other suspension mods, it might make it a little tail happy,
but on the same token, if you're the type of person that's going to put that
bar on an otherwise stock car, you might have bigger problems to be
concerned about.
