SignUp Now!you so funnyHad an ATR bar on the WE4 for over 20 years, it's the only thing left holding the car together.
GN has the first gen. HR. Parts bar, both work ok.
They're good parts still worth a few bucks, worry about something important like Taylor Swift and Kelce.![]()
Ive used many of them , i had over 40 G body cars, they do weigh more but the pro's out weigh the cons particularly in body roll,hello peple: I think it might be overkill and it has to weigh alot more than stock. I don't know but it does look cool. What bar are youz usin?

NOTE: the front bar was 12.1lbs less and the rear bar was 23.4 lbs less (with hardware). 35.5 lbs overall.I like cars that handle well. One of the first mods I did after tires and wheels in 1988 were springs, sway bars and shocks.
After the BF Goodrich Comp T/A 255/50-16’s on all 4 corners mounted on 16” x 8.5” vette wheels with 1.5” billet aluminum spacer from Vette brakes and products I installed larger sway bars.
I went with Herb Adams 1 5/16” solid front bar with heim joint end links and urethane frame bushings along with his 1 1/2” solid rear bar (lower control arm mounted).
The icing on the cake was the ATR handling front springs, MOOG cargo coils in the rear and Bilstien shocks.
This setup had perfectly neutral steering, sliding through a turn while maintaining full control.

I feel the ATR rear bar would be a really good match for a factory front bar where all tires are the same size.
It would be a little big if the rear tires are larger.
You could save some weight by going to a 3/4” hollow frame mounted rear bar. It would be as effective and most are adjustable.
I just changed to a QA1 1 3/8” hollow front bar and a UMI 1” hollow rear bar (frame mounted) and should do the same job, have some adjustability and I lost 46lbs.
I would start by finding an empty parking lot, make big left and right circles. Push the limit to see if the front pushes (understeers) or the rear comes around (oversteers)
Maybe you like it jut the way it is?
