If I disconnect my front swaybar I will get more oversteer. If I disconnect my rear swaybar I get more understeer. The end you ad more bar to will cause it to lose grip sooner.

Just yesterday I had the FE4 (SS 1LE) front sway bar and FEA (ZL1) rear adjustable sway bar installed. I took the car for a canyon workout this morning, and I have absolutely zero regrets. The car is waaay more stable during direction changes, and there's virtually no detriment to ride comfort while cruising. I'm currently on the middle setting for the rear bar, so I can adjust it firmer or softer if I decide to tweak the balance of grip.

I also had the beefier front sway bar endlinks and rear suspension toe links installed from the V8 trims.

My advice is to skip the FE3 parts and jump straight to an FE4/FE4 or FE4/FEA setup for F/R sways.

Oh, important point - I'm on a square setup with 19x10 wheels and 265/40 summer tires.

If you're still on 8.5" wheels with all-season 245 tires, the FE4 equipment could possibly be too stiff for you.

Thank you cyn_crvr. I'm going to study the fe3 vs fe4. Maybe fe3 front and fea rear for oversteer. I am sold on the fea adjustable rear bar and probably the rear v8 toe links . I'm still on factory 20- 8.5 wheels. I put on 245 general g max summer tires when the factory tires wore out. I have only bought summer tires for my cars for at least the last 10 years and run them all year. I will probably stay with 245 but might get 9" wide wheels. Will stay square.With my fwd cars I got the biggest rear bar I could find and always ended up on the stiffest ,inner hole, setting. On fwd you only change the rear bar, rwd is different. Can you tell me where you got your parts ?

I think you should be able to get FE3 and FE4 components from most authorized parts dealers (www.gmpartsgiant.com is my go-to source). The FEA bars were on national backorder with no estimated availability date (this was in late May), but on a tip from a Camaro Facebook group, I scored the last one in stock at the aftermarket dealer ZZPerformance.

Using the chart that Roddrz posted the fe4 front bar looks like a good match for the bmr adjustable rear bar. The rear bar would not be hard to grease. That would be a stiff combo and should be very responsive. Possibly not the fastest setup on 245 tires but fun in e86/brz fashion.
