Default C6 sway bar sizes

I have the FE1 soft ride suspension. My wife loves it! We both have noted it needs inprovement in the handling dept. My choice is the Z51 bars. I have not seen any specs on the diameter of these for a C6. Does anyone know? What size are the bars in the FE4 special ride & handling? Finely what size is the Z06 bars (FE5 suspension, Ride, handle, performance system)? Will I sacrifice any ride comfort if I go to the FE4 bars & stay with my stock soft ride shocks and springs?

Thanks Chris

If your wife loves it but wants to change then I'm confused.

What are you doing to need the extra handling?

Thanks for the reply Talon 90. A question I still have is the c6 base spring rate for the rear 657 or should it be 645? Anyway I am going to put the Z51 bars on it. The reason I want to change sway bars is for better handling for the street & when I auto cross it this summer. This should be very little change in the ride softness.
Thanks Again Chris

You should complement you z51 bars with bilstein sport shocks.
Ooohhh, you WILL be amazed at the improvement/difference.

Thanks for the referral. I agree with the C6 Z51 sway bars!
