Has anyone added a rear swaybar to their Westy?....Vanagons too.....

If so, Did you upgrade the fronts?....ie:  from 7/8 to 1-inch

Did the van handle better with just the new rear swaybar added?........Is
there a noticable difference with both?

Just picking your brains on what to do to help the van handle better.......

I have MXT's with Bilsteins on my 85' which sits sort of high.....almost
looks like a syncro with a slightly sagging ass.....probably need rear
Syncro springs.


Malibu Tony....85's Westy....1.9L....6 degrees BTDC
