Got the bar installed. I don't know how it drives yet haven't gone any place today. Been busy cleaning it up and the new golfcart I bought. I think I need to cut the spacer blocks off a little to make them line up better. I think I could cut them in half and have a set to sale.

Cyclone44 · 09-07-2008, 08:49 PM

Where did you get it???

thirdstreettito · 09-07-2008, 08:56 PM

It's a Camaro sway bar.

sdkid · 09-07-2008, 10:00 PM

What year camaro?

Andy4639 · 09-07-2008, 10:29 PM

It's a 90 model IROC 1" bar. Got for $75.00 with all the hardware.
Then went to Auto Zone and bought 2 3" muffler clamps and the end link bolt kit. Another $22.00.

Sweet Looks awsome How comon is it to come across one of those IROC SwayBars are they easy to find? Is it out of the rear or the front? How easy would it be to install one on our trucks ? The blocks did you fab them yourself ? Damm I ask too many questions !

Okay, since I'm a newby to all this resto/custom stuff.....I should be allowed a couple of dumb questions.

What exactly does the addition of the sway bar do? I am assuming it lessens the rocking/sway of the truck when cornering and such. Am I on the right track?

Thanks,
Ashx2

It does look like the spaces need shaved down a bit.Excellent job though.

**steelhorse** · 09-08-2008, 09:52 AM

It helps prevent the vehical from leaning in the corners.By doing so it helps the tires maintain a better contact patch with the ground.

Classic69 · 09-08-2008, 10:08 AM

That 1" camaro rear sway bar will make a big difference in your truck's handling. I installed a front sway bar off a 70's chevy truck early last summer, followed by a rear sway bar out of an IROC from an auto wreckers in town later last summer. So I could notice the difference with just the front, then with the addition of the rear, makes it a dream to drive. You're gonna love it!!

I just ended up making a pair of 1.25" spacer blocks for the difference in the frame width. Then just drilled 2 holes in each for the bolts.

c10crazy · 09-08-2008, 12:43 PM

Summit racing and cpp also sell rear sway bat kits made for our trucks too.

Andy4639 · 09-08-2008, 12:44 PM

Yea I had the spacer's made at work. Should have installed the bar first and measured it. No biggy to take it off and cut though.

LOW DOUGH · 09-08-2008, 01:21 PM

Neat

Can't wait to put some on mine.

matthufham · 09-08-2008, 09:06 PM

i think i'm going to have to do that. i found a few v8 camaros the other day in the yards, fresh and unpicked.

Andy4639 · 09-09-2008, 11:45 AM

Drove the truck to work this morning for some training. I couldn't really tell any differance in the way it drove. This might be a good sign, seeing how some on here feel the 1" bar is to much for a truck. Time will tell. Roads aren't that bad curvey though.
