Default C6 Z51 Sway Bars - Free Poly Bushing Upgrade - GM Parts House

Hello All,

We have the Z51 sway bars with the FREE upgrade from OEM to poly bushings for $201.25. The poly bushings are an extra $35 that we throw in for free when you purchase our Z51 sway bar kit. You have to purchase the C6 Z51 sway bar kit for $201.25 to get the poly bushings! We don’t just sell any poly bushings as we sell the poly bushings from PFADT racing here on the forum.

The reason people use these bars most on the C5’s and the C6’s is because unless you’re running 335 width tires in the rear, these are the way to go. These bars don’t cause the vehicle to ride “stiffer” per se. They are mostly for the cornering ability.

You know that feeling when you’re going into the turn and the car leans pretty heavily? These bars are meant to make the vehicle feel flatter in the turns and corner much better in the turns. Another advantage is the handling when you’re coming out of the turn. When you come out of the turns you will not be fighting the wheel as much as you would with the stock bars. These bars, since they’re thicker, make it easier all the way through the turns.

We offer these sway bars with the 2011 C6 Z06 shocks. Also, whether it is a C5 or C6, coupled with the 2011 C6 Z06 shocks it makes a total different handling package. This package speaks for itself as we have many testimonials from many customers from whom we sold these to here on the forum!

To order, please call 484-949-2099 or go to www.gmpartshouse.com/search.html and use part number c6z51bars and be sure to select Chevrolet make.

Thanks. Gene.

There are some sizing charts posted here on the forum. It is definitely not enough to warrant you to change them out on the C5 Z.

Yes, no problems at all, just increased handling! The 97 will have the plastic end links so you will want the metal end links for $25.97 each.

Default good mod

Would this be a good mod for my 05 C6 with F55 suspension. I did a supercharger, rear widebody and 12" rims with 345/30zr19's in the rear.

OK...I'm a "vette newbie" so I'm interested to know how this would be an upgrade to the sways in my '99 FRC? Also, are they a direct swap with no modifications necessary? Thanks in advance.

If you have 345's in the rear you should go C6 Z06 sway bars. I can help you out with those as well. I believe they are $230.xx. Please send me an email or give me a call and I'll be happy to help you out.

I did write about the difference in the OP, but basically you'll see a largely improved handling with the sway bar upgrade. These bars fit on all C5's without any modifications.

How do the C6z51 shocks compare to the Z06 shocks for a C5 coupe lowered? Which is better and why. If I have a C5Z06 front bar will a C6Z51 rear bar work with out throwing off the balance with Z06 wheel sizes?

The C6 Z51 shocks are better handling than the base, but are not geared to corner, ride or handle as well as the C6 Z06 shocks. I personally don't even consider the C6 Z51 shocks an upgrade. I certainly would not mix sway bar sizes either.

Yes, they are $35 for the kit. If it was in the year 2010, that you purchased, I doubt you got OEM bushings as I've been offering the poly bushings for over a year now. Feel free to email me your name and all and I'll look up the sale.
