Default LG Motorsports G7 Stingray Sway Bars -Sneak Peek-

I'm not allowed to show full pictures until after the NCM Birthday Bash and Motorsports Park grand opening but I wanted to show a sneak peek at our new G7 Stingray Sway Bar kit

Over the past months we have been designing, testing, and developing new suspension components for the Stingray. Our G7 Stingray bars are just one of the first to join inline with our G2 coil over kit. Don't worry, billet drop spindles are going to be joining soon!

For those of you going to the NCM you will be able to see them in person and feel them on the car on track!







LG Motorsports C7 Sway Bars track tested and tuned, the absolute best race quality sway bars PERIOD

MSRP $995 with Quiet End Links, $749.95 W/O links

Very nice. I've been waiting for some solid aftermarket sway bars.

I'll be in line to get a set of these.

They are in stock and ready to go. Actually have a few sets shipping this week already.


Just can't post pics yet.

There has been some discussion regarding the upper shock mounts and how strong they are, some have said that Coil-Overs would not be a safe option with the C7 chassis.

Now I have seen the bare chassis and the upper mounts are cast aluminum and to me look beefier than the mounts on the C5/6.

Can you weigh in on this?

Uhm....






If this doesn't tell you that we test the product I don't know what will.



While we have not done this exact test with the C7 YET......it has been through more than most of you will ever see (read air borne), or want to put your car through. No damage to the frame, no damage to the mount, no damage to the shock.

Yeah I have seen that video before, I know you guys test your suspension stuff so I was curious to see what you have found so far. Like I said, to me, the new upper mount actually looks stronger than the previous version.

Of course the frame is different and our coil over mount is as well. The car has had coil overs on it for testing since January.

Those are also ready to order in the G2 version. Working on a GT2 version as well.

I saw this car a TMS a few months ago. Trust me, they where testing the crap out of it! 99% of C7's will not get run this hard.

Pretty proud of the car so far. Still much more to come and I'll have full detailed pics after the birthday bash too.

i've been looking to add a set of Z51 sway bars to my non Z car. I assume these new bars are better?

"Better" in terms of anti-sway, most definitely.

Better for calm, comfortable street manners, probably not.

I have a non Z51 as well. Couple these with some super sticky tires and it will take turns like a dream.

Too stiff on regular street tires can have a negative effect on handling balance if you push the car hard in corners.

We started with a Z51 car.....so yes far above and beyond what you would find on the Z51....and a completely different car vs base.

Hey Anthony, These look pretty cool. I have a Z51 on the way with MSRC. How will these G7 swaybars work for that setup?

It will all but remove the push from the car and give you a more balanced, neutral feel.

That was one of the biggest things we fought with the car was the push and getting the car to rotate.

Hmmm. Well my new 19/20 wheels will be in here about two weeks. I ordered 255 for the front and 305 for the rear, Michelin PSS tires.
Thoughts?

Tires are one of the single biggest things you can do to reduce track times.....drag or road race.

That being said testing is typically done with a good sports car tire first, then pushed later with more aggressive R compounds and finally slicks.

Testing has been done on the OEM tires, Bridgestone RE01's and will move onto slicks in the coming weeks.

Great reviews from everyone at the National Corvette Museum Motorsports park debut and a few sets going home with customers there!


All items are in stock and ready to ship now. Do remember if you have a non Z51 car that you will need the rear sway bar brackets and hold down bolts which we can supply as well.

Purchase on the phone, our website, or any one of our awesome dealers world wide!
