[Shotimes] Aftermarket KYB Struts?

[Ron Porter]

I believe the '94s had the difference in bars between the ATX & MTX....the
'95s are all bamboo fishing poles.

The front on my '94 looks like a 24mm, using the eyeball calibration method
against the bar I pulled off my '95. Dave & Kurt also had the 24/23 F/R bar
combo on their "93 & '94 (respectively) MTX cars. Fine with me, as I can
leave the front bar alone (which is the PITA to replace anyway) and just put
the 26mm bar in the rear.

No differences that I've seen.  My old 94 ATX and 95 MTX, along with 2 other
95's (ATX and MTX) I worked on had a 20.6mm front bar with a 21mm rear bar.

Don D. measured the front anti-sway bar on my 92.  It rang up at 24.6mm.  I
had already upgraded the rear bar on my 92 to a 26mm.

The bar on the 95 looks to be stock.  I'll have to use a C-clamp or some
other tool to measure it to be sure, but what is the normal size I should
expect to see on a 95 MTX?  I thought the ATX and MTX were different in this
area, the former getting a softer suspension.
