Default anti-sway bar

I will be installing my B&B Bullet exhaust this weekend. It calls for me to loosen and lower the anti-sway bar for clearance in the installation process. Problem is, when I tighten it back up, I am not sure what the Torque specs are for tightening it.

Anyone have an idea?

So which one of these is the "sway-bar"? There is one bolt and one nut per side. I have no idea what to torque it to.

When looking at it from memory, the big bolt up top gets 100 ft/lbs and the small nut/bolt below gets 74 ft/lbs.

The Progress Technology 22 mm anti-sway bar (rear) is well manufactured, has a teal colored powder coated finish and is supplied with polyurethane bushings/end link assemblies. The OEM anti-sway bar is 20 mm in size and uses a soft rubber pivot bushings and end link assemblies. The Progress anti-sway bar improves the handling of the car due to the larger size of the bar itself and by eliminating the less compliant (soft) OEM bushings/end assemblies.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say this might be an advertisement? How's that "Supporting Vendor" status coming along for you?

Anyway, question: have you tested the RTD system in the ZR1 with your new sway bar? Part of the RTD's programming includes bits on how stiff and how much anti-sway the car has naturally. Adding a fatter bar may upset that balance.

So, any testing, validation, and verification? This includes not only dicing up corners on a track (Sport Mode) but also daily commuting (Tour Mode).

I look forward to your response.
