I`m using a rear sway bar from a 81 bandit,I think its 1 in. dia.ws6 package,and need a front sway bar. Balance in this matter is important.Anybody know if I should go with a 1 3/8 or 1 1/4 on my 70 bird?

On the swaybar, 1-1/4" solid bar is fine. A 1-3/8" solid bar is a lot of additional torsional spring rate... Drive the car first, then decided if the larger bar is warranted.
