Sway Bar ?
Is there any difference between a Z06 rear sway bar and a standard one. My 2003 Coupe's suspension was changed to all Z06, except for the shocks, which are Bilstein. The spare sway bar, which is the original one, looks identical to the one on my car. Is there any difference? Are they different part numbers?
Thanks...

Yes, the Z06 sway bar is thicker.

Are you saying that yours WAS changed out to Z06 but your old one looks the same size? First, if your not the original owner he may have changed it to z06 before. 2nd, whom ever replaced yours did it not knowing they were the same. 3rd, your guy replaced a stock one with a stock one. All you need to do is visually look at a Z06 bar and then back to the stock one and you can clearly see the size difference.

These are pics of the front and rear sway bars. ZO6 on the bottom (in each pic) and stock Coupe on the top.
You can easily see the difference.

Vega$Vette, thank you for the measurements. I am going to have the sway bar powdercoated. Just wanted to be sure it was a Z06 bar before i had it done.
Thanks again to all replies....
