I like it when big parcels turn up I've been trying to get a front sway bar (1-1/8") over here for my '69, but it looks like no-one can supply one from stock, so it looks like I'm gonna have to get one in from the US direct. With the exchange rate as it is it's not looking good Cheers.Nige ps might be intterested in some of the stuff you'll be selling, let me know what it is, cheers |

No, 'fraid it's bigger than stock, I think the stock one's about 7/8" & I want 1-1/8" or 1-1/4", cheers.....nige, |

Your right, you need something closer to what I've fitted. I measured the original and it's about the size of a McDonalds drinking straw |

I have contacted Eibach but they don't have them for your year in production yet as soon as they do they will email me. (sorry to hijack thread) |

More photos... While everything was off I took the opportunity to give the lower control arms a clean up and put drain holes in either side as well. I also found the inside of the front subframe was vitually rust free possibly a dry state car originally ?? I gave it a good squirt of waxoyl anyway (prevention is better than cure). Also upgraded the tie rod adjusters and put in stainless brake hoses.

I also brightened up the original equipment Delco Moraine calipers hopefully, they'll compliment the red band tyres

All went well putting the front end back in but disaster when I pulled out the rear shocks. At some point in the cars life a previous owner had upgraded the rear to take 2nd generation Camaro shocks and yes you've guessed it, I've got 1st gen shocks with the kit. So back on the phone to order the right ones which I'm hoping will turn up asap. So thats now a rear anti roll bar brace for a 67-69 Camaro and rear KYB gas adjust shocks for a 67-69 Camaro with multi leaf suspension that I have for sale. Any takers ?
