Did the swap thanks to a great deal on the bars from LAPD.

Nice mod! I plan on doing Z06 sways and Bilstein shocks when my finances permit. I'm a little tight right now.

the mod is great. but man that floor paint is friggin awesome. i really thought it was a counter top you had those on for the pic.

i didnt realize there was that big of a difference in size from cpe to z06 for the sway bars. i knew they are larger but... that is a sustantial difference

Congratulations on your install, you're going to love them!

Don't know if you (or anyone planning to install) saw this thread (and thread it references) before you started your Z06 install but it may be relevant to you even after the install.
