Improve Your Tri-5, 1st-Gen Camaro Handling With Hellwig Sway Bars


These days, the restoration of classic and early model muscle cars is all the rage in the automotive industry, and one of the key elements commonly seen in these projects is the modernization of the suspension setup. In doing so, a smooth ride and excellent handling like that found in modern muscle cars is achievable. One ingredient in this recipe is the front sway bar, and Hellwig Products has just what your Tri-5 and first-gen Camaro classic Chevrolet’s need on display here at SEMA.

Part of Hellwig’s Premium line, the Tri-5 away bar is finished in an attractive prismatic powdercoat finish and features billet clamps and has adjustable ends that allow for tuning of the roll stiffness to match the other upgrades in your vehicles suspension. Hellwig is the only company that produces a away bar that works with a pocket kit.

The heat-treated 4140 chromoly steel first-gen Camaro offering that is displayed here is designed for use with a Watts Link, and sports six holes for multiple adjustments and tuning for various tracks and conditions and is designed on and for offroad, race track use. This piece also features spherical joints designed to eliminate bind and friction.
