Unless your doing serious auto Xing the Zo6 sways work real well on the street. Check with Fitchner parts department for a excelllent price.

The Z06 sway bars would work very well on your car. Check with Fred Beans for a price, but I think they are around $220.

And depending on the year of your Vette, you can order them with out with out the aluminum end links. If you have the plastic end links you will need to upgrade.

Put mine on this year! 01 A4 Coupe and really improved the handling. For the first few times driving I had to adjust to alittle understeer. I love the results and would'nt go back to stock.
