CPP rear sway bar?
I was wondering if anyone has installed the rear sway bar that CPP sells and if so does it make much difference to the handling of your truck or is it something that just is not neccessary? May as well ask if there is a better set up than what CPP has to offer.

Re: CPP rear sway bar?
I read somwhere about putting a camaro bar on the rear....late 80's model camaro maybe I can find it
Does a rear bar help as much as a front bar does ?

Re: CPP rear sway bar?
I saw a guy in the racing section that had a rear sway bar, not sure if it was cpp or not I will try to find out who it was so you can ask how much it helps out.

Re: CPP rear sway bar?
Do the square trailing arms act differently than the stock trailing arms that make them unnecessary?

Re: CPP rear sway bar?
In my opinion after having them in there for almost two years the rear is definetly alot stiffer on the side to side movement. It feels very nice and tight. Those one piece square tubing from Early classics have urethane bushings and are a one piece so there is no flexing vs the stock ones being two pieces..

Re: CPP rear sway bar?
I think that you will find that most experts will tell you not to run a rear sway bar on trailing arms. They are designed to work best without one. Do a search on the Pro-Touring web site. Just trying to save you needless money. A good set of adjustable shocks would actually help and be money well spent.

Re: CPP rear sway bar?
Large sway bar on the front, 4-6 drop... good shocks all around. Re-do all the suspension... youll be great'. My BB should be slightly over 1000HP, Im not too worried.

Now factor in the weight of a big block with just a little throttle or a bump in the track and that truck is leaving the course at the apex of the turn! A sway bar at the rear will begin to equalize the rear load, reduce bump steer and help the front bar control compression of the suspension on the right front. |
