7/8" or 1" rear bar

I'm looking at some addco sway bars, 1 3/8" tubular front and either the 1" or 7/8" tubular rear bar. Any suggestions as far as brand choice and size of rear bar would be appreciated.

A 1" rear bar is bigger than ideal for handling

Stranoparts.com has the best Fbody swaybars IMO

Thanks Bud M, I have read about the strano bars and if I couldn't get the addco's so cheap I would go with the strano's. I was just wondering if the addco's would make a good second choice. Thanks for your advice on the rear bar, I'll get the 7/8" rear if I buy the set.

If you go with the Addco's I'd be interested in seeing photos if you can post them. I've seen them in catalogs but not in person and I'm curious about their quality
If you can get a used BMR rear bar there's nothing wrong with that one either.

Addco makes my bars, and that 1-3/8" bar is mine... it's in the catalog by mistake, and not available as a normal bar. I commissioned it, tested it, and spec'ed out the details of it. It's a Strano Performance part made for me by Addco.

And the hollow rear bar is mine as well. Again, a cataloging problem and should not have been included.

If someone thinks they are able to get these bars, I'd like to know about it, because I have a pretty big issue with it.

Hi Sam, I'm not sure if the bars I ordered are the same as yours or not. I knew nothing of your deal with addco when I placed the order and as far as I know the bars I purchased are a standard catalog item and have been for years.

Hollow for this car are not standard items and should not be in the catalog. Would be very insterested in where they came from. I don't want to get anyone in trouble, I just need this fixed. Feel free to PM me if you like.

I got the part #'s from addco's own web page and then ordered the bars through their online site.
