madmanadam Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 Getting closer on getting the car on the road. Need to know who,where, how much and what size to use, 7/8 or 1". Another Qst, what would be the largest tire that I could put on 5.5 14 stock rims? I have been told 225's that seams a little big. One more thing I went digital gauges. The side pipes are on, looks like I will have about 3 to 3 1/2" clearance. depending on the tires. The side pipes 2 1/2 from headers and about 1 1/2" below the oil pan. I need the speed and the need to drive. thanks all Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueovalz Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 I have used the 1.125" and liked it, as well as the 1". I personally would not go any smaller than .875" and would choose the 1" instead, but this will be determined by your driving style. 5.5" is about 140mm wide. Man!; that seems small. I would be very leary of anything bigger than a 195, and even this may be a bit too wide. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy 77zt Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 i had a 1.125 sway bar on front but changed it to 15/16 because car has bad push in turn 6 at sears point.most people wont run a car this hard (to the limit ) though and trying this on a public road isnt good.most race cars tune first with spring rate then fine tune with sway bars.i know a guy with a v8 z with no sway bars-it has 350 in/lb springs.the more spring you run then you can run aa smaller bar.sway bars actually bind the suspension.
