Thanks HP2,
I have the stock front and rear sway bars. Will they suffice? Is 1.125 the size of the stock sway bar?

I think the stock front bar is .875 or .937, I forget. I any case, it is under an inch.
What you may find is that at the limits of traction, your car will tend to be loose in the rear with the stock sway bars installed. Try it and see how you like it. If you don't like it that way, you can either remove the rear bar or step up the size of the front bar to bring things back in line.

Thanks again everyone for the support for Cherie. I guess since it affected her disks and vertebrae, it qualifies as being "suspension" related.

She came home today after surgery Tuesday. She had 2 disks and one vertebra removed and a titanium cage installed to replace the missing section. The neuro-surgeon said that everything went well and she will be seeing improvement in extremety function & feeling.   :2thumbs:

I know she'll be even happier once the neck brace goes!
