If you replace only the front sway bar you will get massive under steer. You need to replace both the front and rear sway bars together for balanced, safe, handling. The Addco bars are 1" front and 7/8" rear and were the only ones available when I bought mine 11 years ago. The difference in this and stock is simply amazing. I also have Koni Red Heavy Track shocks (82-2100 and 82- 2101) which I like better than any other brand for the 2WD Vanagon. The Konis are adjustable for rebound but not compression so firmness and control can be adjusted without increasing harshness. This might not be the optimum adjustments for a racing shock but it sure is great for street comfort with control. These two modifications, with stock springs, are, in my opinion, the optimum road suspension for a stock height 2WD Vanagon Westfalia Full Camper giving crisp, comfortable handling and a smooth ride under most all conditions. I also have 215/65r16 Load Index 98 tires.
