My car is 03' C5Z06 with (275's front/305's rear tires).

I wonder if it's worth it to upgrade from C5Z06 swaybars to C6Z51 sway bars.
I understand C6z06 sway bars (rear ones) may be too much for me, unless I ran 335's rear tires, but what about C6Z51 sway bars? Would it even be worth it?
According to the pic below the C6Z51 Sway bars are only 1mm thicker on the front and 2mm thicker in the back. Would that even make a noticeable improvement.




Also, what about polyurethane bushings. Is it adviseable to upgrade to those, or are stock C6Z51 ones just fine?

Opinions, input and some advice would be appreciated...

Thanks a lot

What are you doing with the car? street? track? autox?

Street-usage only, so I won't upgrade.

Thanks

I really like the feel of my poly's. I only have them in the front of my convertible, but there is a noticeable improvement for me. Id say do 'em if you're so inclined.

No, I think street usage is really where a good set of bars shine. I really enjoy driving on the street much more with the JO bars and bilstein shocks I added. Every on /off ramp is a blast. Wish I had done this much sooner. They are nice on track too but there's soooo much happening in that situation--hard to just enjoy them.

I really recommend the Pfadt JO bars. You will feel a difference.

I'd start here. Poly sway bar bushings are cheap and easy. Keep your C5Z06 bars and put in some poly bushings first.

In my C6 I run C6Z51 front bar with a C5Z06 rear bar, both mounted in poly, but I have made several other suspension changes as well. I have the C6Z51 rear bar, but the car is more neutral with the slightly smaller rear bar.
