While disassembling my front end, I measured my existing front swaybar, and found it to be 1". It als had new appearing polyurethane bushings. I have a 1 1/4" sway bar I picked-up at Pomona fairly cheap. I could use either. With a BB engine and 1" lowering hotchkis springs, would there be much difference between the two in terms of handling and ride quality? TIA

If you've got the 1-1/4", I'd use that. It's a well liked size for a swaybar. I've got the a 1-1/4" bar with the lowered Hotchkis springs and I like the way it handles.

Tim.

Ditto except I have the stock springs in mine.
