I am pleased with the Hellwig set, the front is 1 3/8" I believe and the rear is 1". The convertible handles like a go kart now with no other suspension modifications.

"Best" depends on exactly what you are looking for. If "best" means easiest to install, get stock front and back bars from a 442. If "best" means least body roll, get the Herb Adams 1.5" front AND back bars. The A-body cars are understeering pigs and you actually want a much larger REAR bar to correct this. Increasing the size of the front bar increases understeer. Of course, these are expensive. As a price compromise, use a 1.25" WS6 Trans Am front bar (I regularly get these for $25 at swap meets) and an aftermarket 1" or larger bar.
