RedraifExtras's 1987 Pontiac FirebirdSWAY BARS
************************************************************************************************************************

Well since my car is a V-6 it came with the wimpy sway bars. I had decided to upgrade to TA/Z28 sway bars. Well the same junkyard Z28 I got the steering box from, was also the donor for my sway bars. The bars got a fresh coat of Spies Hecker single stage red that matched the body color. Then we found a 36MM WS6 front sway bar that is going on.

My car now has a 36MM in the frt.:

I got the red energy suspension polyurethane bushings and end links. The only problem was that Energy Suspension did not make any 36MM bushings. We had to shave my 34MM ones to make them work!

Hey I found your car doing a search for bmr strut tower braces. I am thinking about getting the 3 point. I noticed you said you had a problem with Edelbrock and also a little with the BMR. My car is an '85 Trans am with a Tuned Port Injected 305. Do you think it would fit without damaging my hood? My car only has 14,700 miles on it and I don't even want to risk anything with it. Great car and cool mods! You can find me at www.austinthirdgen.org. My signon is soldaustin. Please let me know about the Brace. Also did you do one of the wonderbar ones in the front of the frame to strengthen the gearbox area?

Very nice man. I love seeing the thrid Gen's in such great condition and worked. I still think to this day my 3rd Gen's were the best handling Birds ever. Not to mention, you could beat the hell out of them and they wouldn't brake!

Check out my F-Bod video sometime! Take care man.
