    Default Swaybar options for IRS ?

    I want to reduce body roll in my VS with IRS.
    First off are there any heavy duty links like you can get for the rear like you can get for the front, to replace the dodgy tin plate ones ?
    And the rear bar itself, are there any stiffer options available from other models that i could pick up cheap?

    You might find something under the rear of VQ-VS Statesman's or Caprice's. I think they each used different thickness rear 'bars. I am not sure how they compare with the sedans though.

    Depends really on what your looking for but start with one thing at a time till your happy with the ride. I lowered my car to reduce the center of gravity with a set pk King springs, nylathane bushes, Monroe gt shocks front brace bar but didn't fit a camber kit to retain grip around corners, its like a sled on rails but comfortable cruising not like riding a horse if you get what I mean

    Yeah, I have been improving the suspension bit by bit. Pedders shocks all round , urethane bushes in the front, and new rubber bushes on front sway bar. Looking for HD ilnk kit for front, but never heard much about what to do for the IRS rear.
    If anything the poly bushes in the front created more body roll, cos it now turns sharper so ther is more lateral force on the body. What are PK springs ? considering going slightly lower but want good ground clearance for '4WD'ing'.
