Default Pfadt Sway Bars

Does anyone know how the Pfadt sway bars compare to the: (1) Z51, (2) Z06 (rear), or (3) T1 bars? I know the Pfadt bars are adjustable, so perhaps the middle position is the one to compare.

I found a company who sells them - www.VBandP.com. They run around $20 per set. You need to provide them the diameter in millimeters.

BTW, does anyone know the diameter of the Z06 rear sway?

yeah Swaybar bushings are pretty easy to get as long as you have the dia.
Energy suspension makes them in just about every size with brackets for $15-25

VBP also just came out with a full poly kit for the C6 for $350 for all the control arm bushings i would highly recommend, the amount of deflection in the stock bushing rubber is criminal

VBP has poly for the 2006 is the front and rear, upper and lower, control arm bushings. Part number is 97460 - priced at $369.95. Comes complete with the bushings, the sleeves and washers

I still need the diameters of the Z06 sways if anyone has them.
