Remember a quater inch bigger bar from stock, equals four time the force of a stock one inch bar. Also want to get crazy, Powell has a inch and a half bar for the SS now. That eight times the force of a stocker.
I'm sure some will disagree with this, but do the math. Most other bars are one inch, which is same as stock, so all they really are is for looks and bragging rights, nothing more. "Moon"
The one inch bar is in addition to the stock setup, so yes it does make a difference. And Powell does not recommend the thicker bars for daily driving. The biggest ones are recommended for track only.

As for the rear swaybar bushings, none are required or provided.

EDIT: It seems John has changed his opinion on the 1.5" bar, seems to think its fine for a street car now. Hes started a thread on gm sportcompact.net about the XXX bar he sells.
