Default T1 adjustable rear sway bar?

Heard the T1 kit now has an adjustable rear sway bar.
Anybody know what the part # is for the bar only?

I'm assuming that is the bar with the three holes on each end.
The rear bars came through GM like that but they were strait (for C6)and didn't fit the C5, I think that they have fixed that now and the 3 hole bars have the proper bend to clear the C5 exhaust.

Ironicly i was doing a search on this very subject yesterday. There were some pics floating around.... I thought it was this forum, the thread was talking about fitment of the rear t1 bar C5 vs C6 and the adjustabilty holes on the rear bar. It may have been the other z06 forum

I got a set of the new T1 bars and they had 3 holes on each side. Of course no one knew what hole was the best so we were going to use the middle hole until we realized the bars didn't fit the C5.

I have heard GM has corrected that problem now.

I recently got a set of C5 T1 sway bars, and the rears have three holes. They fit fine. I'm using the middle holes and the car feels pretty neutral on a C5 Z06 with stock shocks and springs.

Unless you need T1 legal bars you might check out...

I bought the Pfatty bars and will install them soon. I am running stock springs and Koni singles.

most bars can be modified (by drilling, or welding) to have multiple pickup points. You are simply using the shorter lever arm (closest to the bar) for stiffer, or longer lever arm (out near the end) for a softer bar.

In-car adjustable bars have a slider on the ends that simply move the pickup in or out with the turn of a screw.

Haven't seen the new T1 bars, sound interesting.

Anthony said that the problem was corrected now. The middle hole is the same stiffness as the old bar with the single hole.
Do you have a part number for that bar on any of your paperwork?
