Rear Sway Bar Install - 69 Camaro - Hellwig 5-5824

[@mikelangieri3412]

I've already done the front Helwig 1-1/8" bar on my '69, and yes, its a big deal as far as bang for the buck. Also have Helix tubular uppers/lowers, Hotchkis 2" drop springs, ProForged BJs... used the tall uppers. Ironically I'm piecing together a 8.5" 10-bolt rear, so I was very interested in your video. Now that you have some time under your belt with it... are you happy? Did you change the links to smaller ones? I'm also curious about your "traction bars", leafs and shocks... can you spell out what you have? I'm not interested in drag racing... wondering how your setup handles on the road... especially on curves and "S" curves. TIA-Mike

Informative but a drop light would of been nice to seen more details... Hard to see....

[@tommo98765]

Yeah fair call Joe. perils of working on the ground in the home garage. any questions on what you couldn't see, just ask away!

[@automotiveantics]

Did you have a sweet bar prior to Installing this one? Did you feel a big difference? I'm about to install 1 on my Nova which doesn't have 1 at all at the moment

[@tommo98765]

Real Steel Cars hey. Ive got a small one up front. The difference wasnt huge but did balance the car a bit more. The front is more important as that where all the weight is. Shocks were the biggest single handling change

[@thatredneckboy]

Looking at doing similar on my 69 Soon. How much difference did you find these make to the feel and handling?

[@tommo98765]

Joe B yeah really helps but front is more important

[@tommo98765]

Yeah was noticeable. but with the majority of weight on the car being at the front the front sway is much more vital.

[@justinrennie9995]

Would you suggest this sway bar because it is adjustable? All my other suspension components are hotchkis but i find the rear sway bar overpriced, was thinking of this unit and liked that its adjustable.

[@tommo98765]

Yeah it's good. Yeah I couldnt justify the price of the hotchkis bars either. Especially when this has the added benefit of adjustability. I've just bought a matching but hollow front bar as my old one is to small. It's really light and should make a big difference
