I recently picked up these Summit Racing sway bars for my 74 cutlass:

SUM-720202 (Front)



and

SUM-720209 (REAR)



The front bar was a direct bolt in piece. The rear required me to drill 2 holes in each lower rear control arm. Very simple to install, definitely a beginner level job.

I am really impressed with the difference that they made. The car doesn't wallow around in a straight line nearly as much as it used to and stays very flat through the turns.

nice!!! sway bars can make a big difference. I upgraded my fr to 1.25 and added a 1" in the rear like you i noticed a big difference in straights at speed over risers and in the corners for sure...if you dont have a fast ratio steering box in your car add that to the list it really improves feel when driving.

 

I don't have one, but want one. Which one did you use?

 

Lares 974, very happy w it about $200 from rock auto and comes w a new rag joint. Bolt in and uses your original ps hoses no adapters.

Others have posted they liked the jeep gc box which can be a little less $ but no warranty and needs adapters for ps hoses. Look on rockauto for your car for the exact box but the 974 is pretty common.

 

I'll have to order some. Have you guys changes your rear control arms?? I'm looking for a tighter ride. I have the gc gearbox. It's ok but no warranty.

 

hey Alex

I have the boxed rear LCAs and 1" rear sway bar from parts place, i rebushed the rear UCAs w new rubber bushings. I also got the 442 rear frame braces OE GM but theres lots of after market options for those too
