Has anyone used a splined sway bar on their second gen camaro
 
Sorry if this is a repost.

Im wanting to do a splined sway bar up front on my 72 Camaro for more clearence to run 315,s up front. Has anyone done this yet?

I was wondering the same thing

I don't know of one that would fit a stock subframe and 315 tires ?? but I know our new sub frame has one and we have 6 different rates from 530 to 1200 lb.

I looked on your website and did not see a sub frame for a second gen. That being said I would be interested in the details, and are you looking for a test car?

We have a 295 on an 11 but 315's would be a stretch. Fender stretch, modified or no inner well.

I was either going to use the anvil carbon tubs or fab and bead roll some inner wells. My big concern is sway bar clearance. I have 275 up front now and they rub the sway bar when turned tight.

If the model is close to reality then we have clearance with a 11" rim with 8" of backspace and 30 deg of steering.
I will have a finished second and first gen sub here next week to try all the "Theory". The first and second are identical except for mounting locations. The second gen being wider at the fenders may allow for an even larger tire??? you will be the first to know!
