I'm just going to get stock SS/TC shocks and struts everyone seems to like them a lot so I'll try them plus there cheap.

Where can I get this Powell Stuff? He really don't got a website for our cars.

I have the stock tc bar and I really like it. Your sc is 24mm and the tc is 23mm so you will be downsizing in thickness but I heard the tc bar is better than the sc bar.

I also upgraded my endlinks to the greasable moog endlinks from rockauto.com

I have tc struts/shocks, tc front sway bar, moog endlinks, and powell street bar in the back. I think my car handles amazingly after all my things were installed.

You guys got it backwards. The t/c bar is thicker. Put one on my Redline and had to buy the bushings and clamps for the bar because it was to big to fit into the stock Ion bushings.

I put one on my car. The lsj bushing was smaller and wouldn't fit the t/c bar. The t/c bushing was loose on the lsj bar. T/c bar is bigger, that's how i know. How many have you guys done? Don't believe everything you read.
