What SWAY BAR to choose

Mopar Momzee said

Stock 69 barracuda has upgraded disk brakes when i purchased car. Brakes look to be 73-76 due to lower control arm sway bar bracket. Choices are Hellwig front sway bar 5906 stock looking sway bar, with that i have another set of lowers with stock mount sway bar tabs i will put on to accommodate. Or the larger sway bar Hellwig 55917 larger and hollow sway bar. Also I will rotate the calibers towards the rear as some people have done for clearance issues. Thanks jesse

One thing no one seems to have mentioned here is the actual design characteristics of a sway bar. Better called an anti-roll bar, its main purpose is to decrease the understeer inherently designed into all of these cars. The bigger the bar the more you get towards oversteer. Adding a rear bar tends to offset that. What's absolutely crucial in picking out a sway bar, especially if you add a rear bar, is that the rear bar cannot be any more than the same size as the rear bar and preferably 1/4" smaller at the very least. Improving the effectiveness of the bar is also helped if its mounted in polyurethane bushings and not rubber.
