Default Sway Bar Basics

Will switching to ZO6 swaybars and metal endlinks make a big difference on a coupe?

Also do you need both sway bars or can you just get the front or back?


What would you suggest for a daily driven all bolt on coupe? Thanks

Well.....I don't know about Z bars, but I installed T1's and I love them. I drive it rarely so it's a great upgrade for me.

IMO Z bars would be ok for a DD, a big improvement for sure. BTW get both and metal links too (metal links are very noisey, so I rapped electrical insulating tape around them and it helped).

Havent made the switch yet but I will eventually go with the Z bars. Seems they are the best bang for your buck for a DD car. Ive had a lot of people recommend them if you just want a little better handling car and still feel good on the street. Im sure somebody that already made the switch will chime in.

I like them. Do feel a little bit difference, but it is still fine for a DD. You can pick them up a lot cheaper than the T1 bars. Would I do it again? For the price..probably yes...
