Default Sway Bars

Was thinking of ordering the C5 Z06 sway bar or the C6 Z51 sway bar for my 2004 corvette with the Magnetic Selective Ride Control and was wondering which one you guys recommend more for my stup. I have read the threads and it seems like either or work but just didnt know which one to get for sure. Also, do i need to buy the metal end links when i purchase the sway bar. Thanks for your help.

Will

There are tons of threads regarding sway bars in C5 Tech.

Personally, I went with a set of C6 Z51 sways for my FRC.

As for the end links, you can re-use your existing onces since your 2004 already came with metal end links.

I just installed C6Z51 sway bars last weekend that I ordered from Gene Culley on my 2004 base coupe. They fit perfectly and made a big difference in handling. I also installed polyurathane bushings from Phadt racing. They make the bushings specifically for the C6Z51 bars.
