Default C6 Swaybar

Do I need to disconnect the end-links to loosen the bushings? I guess I'm asking if there's pre-load on the bar... also, anybody know what size the bolts are? (C6 Z51, I assume it'll all be the same as a C6Z or C5...)

there should be no preload and you should be able to release the bushings without the end links being disconnected.

Didn't you have an S2000 before. Your sig looks familiar from S2ki , How are you liking the C6 compared to the S2000?

Not I. 1987 RX-7 TurboII (track/autocross), 1982 RX-7 (Pro7), 1982 RX-7 Autocross car, various RX-7s for ice/dirt/oval (crew), Formula 1600 (crew), 1992 Civic Si Autocross car, 1990 Civic Autocross car. Currently the '06 C6 Z51, '91 Miata, '01 Tahoe, '00 Ninja 250, '93 CBR600F2... and the '87 RX-7 TII is "almost done" for SuperProd/SuperUnlimited, etc, etc.

But nope, no S2k. :-) About 5Kmi on the Corvette now and I'm loving it compared to everything else -- it's so *easy* to drive on the track and at the autocross.

Oh Ok, well it looks like you have nearly everything else covered.
