Sway bar question for C5Z
I am looking for a sway bar kit for our 2 C5Z the track only cars.
The Pfadt heavy rate that I want are back ordered for an additional 90 days that is on an order placed in september.
Do you guys have any recomondations as we start racing in early april and with spherical bearings and stock bars/ springs they do not turn in well. I would like adjustable/ tuneable bars
I don't want to use coil overs cost too many points in our run groups and I have heard too many issues with broken mounts.

I cheaped out and got the pfadt johnny oconnell ones. According to pfadt they are very similar to T1 but are 2/3 the cost. Unfortunately I haven't tried them yet to give you any sort of review. I'll be running the JOC shocks too with stock C5Z springs and delrin bushings all around as a baseline setup.

We have our G1 bars on the shelf and CF members do get a discount on the package!

Proven design that will stiffen the car, and should be the first step on any C5 car before doing shocks or springs.
I can't speak for the points in the groups you run in....but broken mounts?
.
I have had ZERO G2 coil over/frame mount failures in the last 10 years.

It was a difficult decision between the JOC phadt sways and the GM T1. The Phadt are complete for $625 and the T1's are another couple hundred more. It may be petty and I may get some flack, but I just couldn't do the bright yellow bar being visible from the rear of my car so I went with the LG T1. If the Phadts were blue, black or grey it would be much more subtle. They are priced right but my OCD would have got the better of me.
