[Shotimes] Sway Bar Help??

[Ron Porter]

Just get a 26mm rear bar from a Gen 1 SHO. But I'll tell you that, in street
conditions, you really won't feel much difference. Yes, there are people out
here who have never been on a track that will tell you that they can feel
the difference when they change bars by 2mm, but they are full of it.

If the car understeers too much, you need to change your driving habits.
Come into curves slower, and accelerate out faster. And only brake in a
straight line. FWIW, my '94 had the 24/23 combo, and I went to a 26 rear,
and it maybe helped at Blackhawk, but there was NO street difference. I also
have SFCs, AL SFBs, Eibachs, Tokicos, and ES100 tires. 

Heavy FWD cars like the SHO will always have understeer, and that's not a
bad thing. Driving technique will take care of that when required.

Hello Group!
 
I have a '94 SHO MTX. Due to poor handling characteristics I measured the
sway bars and they are at 24mm in the front, and 23mm in the rear. Lots of
understeer!
 
I would like to keep the 24mm bar in front, but I am looking for a 28mm for
the rear... Any ideas on where to find a reasonably priced unit? Also, from
what I have read this seems to be a good balance, any comments?
 
Thanks so much!
 
SHO Kid
