C4 Swaybar & Shock install!!!!!!

Sinister C4
Oh man what a freakin' difference. Installed Vette Brakes' 32mm front and 26mm rear swaybars with poly endlinks. Those bushings were an utter pain to install but the end result is just night and day. I also replaced the horrible a/c delco shocks that were on the car with Vette Brakes spec Bilstein Sport shocks (valved just for them). I now have about half as many rattles and I swear the engine is even idling better. One last thing, if you have a funking clanking noise in the rear of your car, check you swaybar end links. Mine were TOASTED! Thanks go out to John at Auto XTC for telling me to check out those endlinks!!! :dancer01:

And here are a few pix just for pure enjoyment plus those blown out bushings.

Of course I pick the hottest day of the year so far to do the install.

And the blown out rear swaybar bushings. These just fell out when I unbolted the swaybar.

Next up I hope to either be installing C5 calipers and rotors, or some more fun rear end products from VBandP. No I'm not sponsored by Vette brakes (at least not yet). I just believe in their products, service, and they are local. :thumbs:
 
No plans for upgrading the springs anytime soon, but probably down the road. I hope to get the VBandP Rear Heavy Duty Toe Rods and the Poly smart struts some what soon.
 
Looks good! I recently installed new KYB's on my 95 and it was a HUGE improvement as well! Like you, I was amazed at how many squeaks and noises went away.
