    You don't want a larger sway bar on the rear than you have on the front. 1" up front and 5/8" on the rear will be more ballance or 7/8 front and 1/2" rear

    I have 1 1/8 front, from a 65-66 mustang. The front mounts need to be moved 1-2 inches foreward. I think it was worth the extra trouble, with cut 620# mustang springs the car turns wtih verry little body roll.

    Have you got the matching 7/8" rear bar?
