This is easy...every aftermarket C5 rear sway bar I'm aware of except the first gen GM T1 car is adjustable. Some have a clamping sleeve, others like the late GM T1, J.C. Pfadt, LG, and Hotchkis have 3 or 4 holes.

And the Van Steel bars are adjustable front and rear.

Forgive my lack of knowledge, but the VS bars are aftermarket? If so, best source for them? Is it true that there is no difference between c5 and c6 rear sway bars? Jerry

Sam at Strano Parts stocks a bunch of sizes and can also have something custom made for you in just about any size you need. I have a handful of his bars for tuning.

C6 up to Z06 will fit C5. C6 ZR1 won't fit C5. Good luck. Difference
between 6 and 5 is the diameter.
