Nice, what size is the sway bar you put in?

sway bars are 1 3/8" tubar bar on front and 1" solid bar in the rear. can really tell a difference compared to the stock suspension.

I believe it! My Malibu feels like a Cadillac compared to the SS suspension I just picked up. I'm thinking about keeping both of them now. My girlfriend is gonna kill me... Did the car sit any lower with the springs or did it sit about the same with the 40 year old sag from the old ones plus the drop of the new ones?
