Default z51 sway bars

I have a base C6, guess i plan on doing the z51 sway bars.

Where would be the best place for buying them?

Gene Culley. Have done business with Gene several times, never a problem. Excellent prices on GM parts as well.

I agree with Chris. I used Gene when I put pressure sensors on my Z16. Ordered them one day and they arrived the next. Great service.

I bought the Z06 sway bars for the C6, but haven't put them on yet. Got them from Fred Beans and paid right around $190 (including shipping for them.

Gene Culley has some of the best prices around, but with shipping added we should be able to match the overall cost & will do the install for next to nothing if you get them from us.

I just put Z06 sways on about 2 months ago on my C6 vert AF F55. It definitely makes the vette stiffer especially on turns. In other words, it's awesome. The only difference between the Z51 and Z06 sways are that the Z06 sways are the same diameter front and rear.

Hmm, I measured the diameters of the Z06 sway bars I got with the intention of trying to find polypropylene bushings, and measured one at 31.12mm and the other at 28.13mm.....
