Its because of the fuel tank location on the 55-57 Chevy's and the modification required to those cars to make the sway bar fit the body if it was still on top like in the C4 corvettes. This takes care of a lot of problems with the longer wheel base too and you have a bunch of other stuff that has been moved and you just don't see like it sits here. Migrated instant centers of the rear swing arm, extended anti squat instant center and so fourth. By giving the rear sway bare less mechanical advantage over the rear we get a softer sway bar without having to buy a new one and we can use the OE Corvette bar that comes with the suspension. (so its free
)
