Is there a dramastic advantage in having them? The c10 handles like a wet noodle in the corners. Looking at adding a front and rear and then disconnecting the front at the track. Is bigger better in sway bar size?

World of difference on the street.
Rear may help at track also.
Generally bigger is better.

Seriously wtf. I waited forever for these cups and now I go to put them in and I have to make a run to the hardware store because the bolt supplied for the lower mount is 1.5 inches to short! Arrrrrrghhhgghghggh!!!!! Now I am very leery on getting anything else from them. It was supposed to be a complete kit.

A front sway bar is the best addition and bang for the buck you can make to your front suspension. New ones are fine but any front swaybar from a 1973/1987 Chev/GMC truck will bolt right in and there is a million of those trucks at wreckers. If you decide to go the used route try and find front bar from a 3/4 or 1 ton truck as I believe they are either 1 1/8" or 1 1/4" thick.
