anyone know where I can find a 1 1/4" front sway bar for an '85 RX-7?

 

Mazdatrix sells a 1 1/8inch front bar

thanks fo the link, but I'm actually looking for a 1 and 1/4" sway bar, not a 1 and 1/8". Or do the 1 1/4" bars for first-gens even exist?

 

A 1 and an 1/8 big is about as big as you want to go, unless you are adding a V-8. Jim Susko who runs G-force Engineering and sets up first gens for racing does not use anything bigger.

What problem are you trying to overcome with such a large bar?

 

thanks for the clarification, I just thought "the bigger the better".

 

You will need some really stiff springs on the back to offset the massive push if you go that big on the front bar.

 

And, if you go with really big springs in the rear without fixing the two binding issues in the rear suspension, you will have a hard time making it stick in a corner.

May I make a sugestion?
Go to the G-force web page and buy the first gen setup manual. It is great! Here is the URL - http://www.gforceengineering.net/

Good luck!
