W-Body Suspension Upgrades

[cutlass supreme FE3]

I want to put bigger swaybars but have FE3 already.
do they make bigger that 34mm for front and 14mm for the rear?

Just a note about Sway Bars for Luminas. The Addco Sway Bar part #639 listed for 95-99 Luminas will NOT fit the Lumina chassis. I know this because I ordered one of them from Addco, and when it arrived, it was not even close to the configuration of the bar on the car. I called Addco and told them about it and emailed them pics of the bar. They checked with their engineering department and said that I was right, the bar would not fit a Lumina chassis. They had assumed that all the W-bodies used the same chassis, and they don't. The Lumina is different from the Pontiac, Buick, and Olds chassis, and the sway bar design is completely different also. The only heavy-duty rear sway bar that will fit a 95-99 Lumina is the factory one from the Ride and Handling package used on the LTZ and Police suspensions, Chevy part # 10242079. Hope this saves somebody else from making the same mistake I did.

IIRC the Monte Carlo Z34 bar is the same. Should be a good find at a local yard.

will it fit a 1988 first gen?

cutlass supreme FE3, the addco bar 7/8" listed on the first page works for first gens like ours. Also, do you already purchase the 34mm front? FE3 in 88 only had a 30mm bar IIRC.

Trailing Arms:

GM Tubular Trailing Arms #12498649
(Comes as a pair, complete with bushings)
(Fit 1st and 2nd Gen. W-bodies)

I went looking for a pair of these last night and came up with the bad news that they aren't made anymore.

I did, however, find some stock replacements made by Dorman that have 1/2" x 1/2" tube steel instead of the crappy U channel that stock uses. The Dormans do use rubber bushings though.

I bought a set today (~$50 for the pair) and plan on removing the rubber ones and replacing them with the poly bushings in my stock ones when I start wrenching on the 92.

I had them look up a set for a 96 Monte Z34.
