S&W Anti roll bar one more time.
A while back there was a thread on here about the ARB that S&W makes for 82-02 Camaro and Firebirds. Before I spend 500 plus shipping on one. Has anyone had a problem getting through tech with one recently? I have heard that they are now legal. Can anyone confirm this? Was planning on asking this weekend at Gateway. But could not get away from work to go.
Thanks Rob |

Anti rollbars in stock have been acceptable for some time now.But, if you setup your rear suspension right, you shouldn't need one. Not a believer in anti-rollbars or air bags for these cars.

One of the fastest LT1 Camaros in the land runs this S&W anti-rollbar setup.

Re: S&W Anti roll bar one more time.
How is that upper cross bar fastened to the frame, or subframe I guess I should say?

Re: S&W Anti roll bar one more time.
On the previous thread a number of the division tech directors weighed in on this very set up. Before purchasing one for your stocker I would suggest you contact your divisions tech director for their thoughts. I will say that if set up properly nothing more than the factory installed sway bar is necessary to make these cars work

Re: S&W Anti roll bar one more time.
The '97 Firebird I raced in stock had no anti roll bar. Never needed it. Pretty much always hooked well and went straight with no chassis twist. Very hard leaving car, front end in the air every run.
Modified stock torque arm.....bolt on traction bars.
