Lots of used Z06 sets pop up in the parts section, usually for about $200

The ZO6 SBs are a decent setup, I went with HOTCHKIS and love them! Best bang for the buck...gotta be the ZO6 setup.

depends on what kinda of bang you are going for and how much you want to spend. Personally im going with the T1 bars. but they are on the pricier side. make sure you replace the end links and bushings too

As NAVY08 mentions, make sure you replace the bushings and endlinks, which came with my setup. I like the F1, but I am very happy with my hotchkis.

I heard that there is some cutting involved with F1, is this the case?

Z06 best bang for the buck, but depends on what you want for stiffness and handling

The Z06 sway bars are a good buy for the price. You'll notice the difference, that's for sure.
