What are the sway bar sizes for base coupe?
 
Just keeping my eye out for a good deal on used sway bars. Not sure what the fr/rr size are for the base model coupe. Anyone know?

the only 4th gen bars that were different were the front sway bars on the ss and ws6 cars. the v6 cars and the base v8 cars had the same stuff

Does that mean the base coupe has a 32/19 mm pair of bars?

Mike 12-16-2009 04:54 PM

i lied.....
The V6 models have a 28mm front sway bar and a 15mm rear sway bar. The spring rates are 257 pounds per inch in the front and 114 pounds per inch in the rear.

The regular V8s have a 30mm front sway bar and a 19mm rear sway bar. The springs are 292 pounds per inch up front and 114 pounds per inch in the rear. The 1LE and WS6 suspension package has a 32mm front sway bar and 19mm rear sway bar (note, 1993 and early 1994 1LEs got a 21 mm rear bar). The springs are 360 pounds per inch up front and 130-180 pounds per inch (progressive) in the rear (note, 1993 1LEs got the same springs as regular V8s).

Thanks for the update. So I guess that even a 30/17 set would be an upgrade.

UPDATE: Took a caliper to the front sway bar, and it is 28mm. Doesn't hurt to be sure! :D

Thanks! Now if someone can provide a 32mm bar, I'm all set.
