Hotchkis bar is 25.4mm dia
Z06 bar is 23.6mm dia

I found a cheap Hotchkis rear bar for sale. It's the bar only, no bushings or endlinks. Can I get away with installing the it with the stock bushings? My track setup is Toyo R888s 275 front and 315 rear so I have a feeling I may need some rear roll stiffness to correct the push.

Thanks.

That is too much of a size differential. The Hotchkiss bar will bind badly and restrict movement in the rear suspension. I would contact some of the forum vendors handling the bars and get the correct bushings and brackets. They will not be expensive. Stock metal Z06 endlinks will work fine if you do not intend on corner balancing the car.

I got bushings with the brackets to fit the hotchkiss rear bar from summit racing. They were really inexpensive as I recall. They been on for 2 years now and have worked fine.

But no time to get parts before Mid-Ohio on Monday. I should probably wait until after I get at least one track day in the car before I start throwing parts at it.

The bar is only $50 so im sure he will come out ahead.
