No smoke and mirrors here. Installing these GM A-body front and rear antisway bars is almost as easy as picking up the phone and ordering them from Original Parts Group. We had the 1 1/8-inch front and 1-inch rear bars installed on our never-say-die Cheap Street Chevelle in about 90 minutes. Made by Addco and also offered in 1 1/4-inch front and 1 1/8-inch rear sizes, the bars are a legit handling upgrade and truly qualify as an easy performance bolt-on. We made a few changes to hook the rear bar to our aftermarket Hotchkis rear lower control arms, but it only concerned fastening hardware and required just one trip to the local auto parts store for longer bolts. The only reason we had the car on a hoist was so we could clearly photograph exactly what needs to be done-a floor jack and a sturdy pair of jackstands will easily enable you to install the bars in your driveway.
