When the AMX and the Javelin came out in 1968, the handling was very good - for the times. But, by 1970, most all Detroit V-8 powered muscle cars had a front and a rear sway bar handling package as standard equipment. This is what made Z-28s, Boss Mustangs, AAR 'Cudas, W-30 and W-31 442s and other such legendary cars in performance history. Today, every modern performance car has a precisely balanced front and rear bar package. And with the advent of computer controlled suspensions, even the sway bar cars are now outdated. Today, AMXs and Javelins are severely outdated with just a skinny little front sway bar. The AMC cars do not have handling anywhere near the supreme abilities of cars of today and even do not measure up to the early 1970's Detroit performance cars with full bar packs from the factory. The AMXs and Javelin ride on old and painfully outdated Rambler and Hornet suspension, not the hot setup for a classic muscle car.

Over 20 years ago, a group of AMC autocrossers in the Chicago area found ways to improve the AMX and Javelin to have excellent handling without suffering increased ride harshness or undesirable road manners. In fact, the cars are dramatically improved in highway smoothness and control making the car a pleasure to drive on the interstate. And when the road becomes twisty and full of curves, the AMX and Javelin become the serious performance cars they should have been right from the factory years ago. Used with modern street radial performance tires, the AMX and Javelin have handling power equal to pure racecars just a few years ago. The Improvement is day and night!

The Chicago autocrossers years ago were headed by Larry Mitchell who developed the exact size and shapes of front and rear sway bars for both the AMX and the longer wheelbase Javelin by trial and error in competition. Larry developed a set of sway bars that are easy to install and offer a precise balance between the front and the rear of the car giving 1990's handling to 20 year old cars. The cars corner at much higher rates and with excellent control and a neutral balance never known before from any AMC car you ever drove.

Larry Mitchell has become one of the AMC hobby's most noted experts in handling. Along with another noted AMC handling expert, Chuck Smiley of California who has won two West Coast SCCA Division Championships in a 401 Powered 1973 Hornet. Larry and Chuck have literally wrote the book on modern AMC handling. They have a handling booklet available (free with a bar pack order) that covers every detail of AMC handling, from engine modifications to chassis secrets. Included are shock choices, tires, brakes and more. Everything you ever wanted to know about AMC handling. The booklet, written in 1989, is called 'The AMC Handling Booklet'.

The famous "Gymkhana Suspension" by Larry Mitchell features a rear sway bar of unique design that does not rip out of the rear frame. Other hobby vendors who know nothing about AMC handling or even handling at all sell a poor imitation of the famed AMX Enterprises bar pack, but IT IS NOT THE SAME! It features unbalanced bar rates causing squirrely and even dangerous handling. Above all, the rear bar they sell easily rips out of the frame and could easily cost you your classic car - and even your life. If you do not buy the AMX Enterprise 'Gymkhana Suspension', you are not getting precision handling and a rear bar that is guaranteed not to rip out under hard cornering causing a sudden loss of control and a dangerous situation. It is just that simple.

The kit consists of a front bar that easily bolts in place of the existing stock AMC bar. The stock AMC bar is rated at 225 foot pounds of deflection force, whereas the new bar is rated at 445 foot pounds, nearly double. All hardware comes new and is of premium quality.

The rear bar differs in size, depending on application. It mounts under the rear axle and balances the heavy front bar exactly giving precise deflection rates between the front and the rear of the car. The end links mount with the drilling of only one 3/8 inch hole in the frame per side. It is totally anti-rip out in design for maximum safety. It comes with all related hardware.

The bar pack is offered on a money back guarantee basis. Buy it, put it on, try it for 30 days. If you don't feel it does what we say, take it off, put it in a box and send it back to AMX Enterprises. You will receive a full refund within 30 days less shipping both directions.
