Not really. Just be carefull, and understand how the mod affects the handeling of the vehicle. You should be ok.

Yeah, a stiffer swaybar isn't necessarily a bad idea. How does it corner now compared to before? How does it affect your articulation?

I never understood how swaybars affected handling, so I looked it up just now. Here's a couple of articles I found online.

The H3 is a truck not a sports car.
Nothing you do to it will make it handle like your Firebird

Your exactly correct! And the suspension is completly different and 4 wheel drive makes a huge impact.

But a sway bar is a sway bar. I just want people to be informed about this modification, because this mod is not intuitive where a bigger bar is a better bar.

It would be a shame if someone who didn't understand how sway bars can affect a vehicle and removed the front for more articulation offroad, jumped back on the highway with a beefed up rear bar. That would be massive amounts of oversteer.

They stopped making the Firebird in '02 and the flamming chicken hood graphic sometime in the late 80's.
