Overview
Reducing body roll and understeer is the job of this ADDCO front anti-sway bar for the Chevrolet Corvette. It is an original factory type replacement that mounts in the factory location, made of hardened, stress relieved high carbon steel.
A larger diameter than the stock bar firms up the front end without relocating anything. The description speaks of most kits in general, so the exact brackets and bushings for this one are not itemized.
Who it's for
For owners of the listed Corvettes who want sharper handling in corners. Those wanting a softer ride or other model years should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Mounts in the factory location

Performance notes
A thicker anti-sway bar resists twisting between the left and right wheels, which reduces body roll and understeer in turns. The bar is hardened and stress relieved to support the suspension in sudden or sharp turns.
