The trianglulated bars are the stock 74 a body bars and the cross bar is 1 1/4 tubular bent to clear the aircleaner. I used 1 1/4 x 4 by 1/4" flat stock. I drilled 2 mounting holes through the inner fenders. It does make a difference. I'm sorting out the power steering next (a little slack in the box). I have KYB's on the front and 892/893 TBs. I'm building this on the GM design..light springs and big sway bars. I'm not sure if I won't step up on the bars though. Lots of winding roads here and it's fun to drive. I'm having trouble loading Pic's.

this is not a GM design... suspensions are designed a certain way... each part has a purpose... excluding t bar cars (front end springs act differently under cornering) the springs, front or rear are only to keep the car at ride height and to keep the car from bottoming out on a bump

a sway bar is designed to keep the body level thru a corner... therfore you need the correct spring rate for the vehical and the correct sway bar for the weight and handling desire of the vehicle...

now where t bars can act a little different is that they will slightly act as a sway bar, thats why the solo racing bars are 1.04+ in diameter...
