It's pricey and probably a little too wide but it looks like a nice piece for someone wanting to get a bigger bar than a ZQ8 bar.

I saw that on protouring but if it's any wider than stock I wouldn't be able to turn. The swaybar is the first thing my tires hit.

It's made for a G-body so its probably wider than a S-Series bar. It's nice that they give you dimensions of the tube though. It looks easy to fab the bar itself then just buy the end plates and links and you'd have a nice beefy bar.

It's either 2 or 4 inches wider.
Here's a cheaper option.
http://www.1speedway.com/Swaybars.htm
Some fab is required for the arms (bends).
Here is the equation to compare sway bar stiffness.
[Outside diameter]^4
while that of a tubular bar is
[Outside diameter]^4 - [Inside diameter]^4
^ = power so ^4 is to the forth power.

remember, if you can fit a wider bar without hitting tires/wheels, and the endlinks are further outboard than stock, that motion ratio difference will make a big increase in the roll stiffness

Does anybody know that stiffness of the zq8 bars?
You could also use these for the rear, mount the swaybar to the frame just like the front end. Then no more ugly bend around the diff cover.
