I was about to buy my sway bar from p-s-t.com because I here so many raves about them, and everybody says to avoid the addco sway bars.

Well...

P-S-T.com sway bars ARE addco. They had me call the manufacturer to make sure I was buying the right bar, surprise "addco" andwered and said yes they supply the sway bars for p-s-t, exact same, nothing different.

performancesuspension.com on the other hand sells Hellwig sway bars for $25 cheaper then summit. Hellwig gets many rave reviews and my sway bar that arrived has real beefy components and poly bushings. Instructions blow though.

Just some info for you all.

Most people dislike the addco mounts vs. the bars themselves. Did you take any pics of the bar mounted? I'd be interested to see how it mounts up.

The rear mount is good.

The front mount could use some work........... (some grinding off of excess angle iron, and a thru bolt for the top mount) Not really hard to do, just have to get around to it.


I also think the year of your car's K-member affects the goodness/badness of the front mounting.

yeah, pst are addco bars, but i think they just charge a bit more to drop ship them. the addco bars could be nice with the proper mounts, mainly because they flex and minimal ground clearance. but i had a bit of trouble fitting one since the ends were too far apart and kept trashing link bushings over time.
call dick ross at firm feel. his cost a little more, but fit like stock stuff. on my '70 swinger i used a '73 kframe and LCAs with swaybar tabs with a firm feel '73+up style (thru k-frame) firm feel 1 1/8" bar and couldn't be happier.
