Oh...by the way I have kicked the back end of a diesel rabbit around. You don't need power just a disregard for safety. Some in and out pics.

Oh.. I forgot to mention. The sway bars have stiffened the suspension enough that the front wheel lifts off the ground when I pull the car into the garage
And.. I forgot to measure the front and rear bars.

Thanks. I took a GTV-6 spoiler and cut out about six inches from the center and put it back together. It fit pretty well and I'm sure that it goes faster with it on there

ok, when everyone's through fawning over paul's car, can we get back to this thread's purpose: my slightly less than perfect and nowhere near as nice as paul's sedan! (kidding, of course, although i'm sure there are some people who wouldn't be!)

so i measured my alfetta's front bar and it was 22mm as well as my milano's. (couldn't get to the rears since the crazy black widow spiders have taken over my cars.) i guess the PO must have upgraded although i'm kind of surprised since the car leans like crazy. car also has red rear springs (IAP?) and koni reds on all corners so it should handle pretty flat--but it doesn't. it also is very sloppy but that's from all the disintigrated bushings--it's amazing the difference bushings make in a car's handling, ride, feel, etc.

oh, well, thought i could lessen the leaning for cheap but . . . .

ok, back to paul's car--i really like that front spoiler. hope you don't mind if i borrow that idea in the future? post some more pics of the front end. (and don't worry, by the time i ever get around to finding a spare gtv6 spoiler, modifying it, getting it to fit, etc. . . well, you get the point.

damn, i definitely like that, though.

Can I install a verde sway bar using my stock alfetta-gtv end-links? According to performatek both are 33mm and should work but I wanted to be sure since I am going to buy a bar. Also I am planning to install poly bushes on the caster bars, then at the back and on the sway bars. I think that then a set of gtv6 torsion bars (early)would be the way to go to get better handling.

Thanks
