Suspension- Using GW Tube Control Arms

[KenB WE$]

Car came with Global West Rr Tubular Control Arms still in the box in the trunk.
Question is: Anyone try w/o the rr stabilizer bar after installation of the Control Arms, as opposed to locate and drill the CA's for proper sway bar install?

Car has lowering springs, newer body mounts, and Koni 12?-way shocks.
Other than that, don't know of other suspension mods.
Also, rr seat brace installed, front brace to be installed.

FYI Part purchased in 1999, so if they've changed the design, don't help me.


Thanks

You might have gotten 3rd gen. Camaro control arms. They are identical except no swaybar provision. I wouldn't try to modify them. You could convert to the HR Parts rear sway bar, that uses a different mounting setup. Are you interested in a swap?? Ive got a nice set of boxed arms with greasable poly bushings / less than 1000 miles on them. Mine look odd with the swaybar holes since I put the HR Parts rear bar in.

But its the correct part, TBC-2 for G-body, just a PITA way to mount the sway bar. Found the instruction sheet (just needed to look more) and it clearly mentions to drill. Then checked GW site, and holy cow, inflation. This set has spherical end and del-alum on the other and price is more than double of four years ago (even found receipt)
I need to get under the car to check this out.

Thanks again, and the HRParts Rr sway bar is mighty interesting

I don't have any experience with the spherical end arms, but I would bet you wouldn't be happy with them on a mostly street driven car.
