It seems that the FC borrowed all the front suspension parts from the 
full-sized Chevrolet except for the crossmember.  I assume that FC's have a 
narrower track but otherwise the essential geometry is the same.  The 
reason I ask is that I am looking into making a stiffer front anti-sway bar 
than what is offered by ADDCO.  They sell a 3/4" bar, but I am interested 
in making a 7/8" or 1" bar.
