you need to think SS sways theyll make a world of difference plus if your lucky you can find them used and for that price you could get them blasted and painted... ohh and you should replace both if your gunna do it no sense in doing half a job

Get SS sways if you want a cheap option, else Stranoparts 35/22 hollow sways... Don't get solid -- you don't want the added weight. Even the SS front bar is hollow...

Dude... I just checked out the pics of the snapped bar... OUCH! Well the hollow ones are lighter and work good but they cost a few more $$$. Umi makes a very reasonable priced one that is solid and alot larger than the stock bar. Granted it will weigh about 20lbs more than the hollow one. On a race car that 20lbs may make a difference but on a daily driver you prolly wont notice.

Anyone know if SS ones are too stiff for a convertible?
