Default New mod...Z sway bars

wow, what a difference!! I recommend this mod to anyone. Well worth the money. I used the factory bushings that came with the kit and used lithium grease and used 3mm washers. No sounds what so ever from them.
Also, did blackouts and put on the rear black fascia kit. Black Z06 wheels and pics soon!!!

Nice upgrade! Your right about the cost. I think for the money its one of the most noticeable improvements you can make

Enjoy the better handling

Do you know if there's a difference between (2000)Z51 bars and the Z06? I'm going to replace the (2000's) plastic links but am curious about the bar size

The Z06 front is a little bigger. Your rear bars are the same size.
