My friend installed Pfadt bars. I installed his old Z06 bars with new poly bushings. It made a HUGE (better) difference in handling.

Default just spoke with Gene this morning...

Just bought metal end links for my used C6-Z51 sways, from GMPartsHouse: $26 + shipping. Gene says these will work with just about everything.

Also got my new poly-bushing from Pfadt Racing for those same sways: $30 + shipping.

Both are great deals!

Aloha
Michael

*edit* Sorry Chip, I guess I missed the fact you carry Pfadt! I'm thinking the Pfadt adjustable shocks, next spring,(instead of the Z06 ones) will be a good compliment to the C6-Z51 sways!!

I hear that poly bushings get squeeky after a while. So keep that in mind...may need more white lithium at some point.

C5Z06 Fr = 30.0 R = 23.6
C6Z51 Fr = 31.0 R = 25.4
C6Z06 Fr = same as Z51 R = 28.0

Not much, but C6Z51 is cheaper than C5Z06

HUGE diff from C5 base which is Fr = 23 R =19

Stock later model C5 2003 to 2004 has stock metal endlinks... for the rear at least. Not sure about the fronts.
