I bought them about 6 months ago, but haven't installed them yet. I got a good deal on them. I paid about $250 shipped, the best I've seen lately is $270 shipped do a search on Google for Eibach C5 Corvette sway bars. The front bar is a little smaller than the Hotchkis: 31.75 mm-front / 25.4 mm-rear, Eibach: Front: 29mm, Rear: 25mm. They are a lot cheaper than the Hotchkis bars and they come with poly bushings.
The C6 Z51 bars are almost the exact same size as the Hotchkis bars, C6 Z51: 31.00 mm front, 25.4 mm rear. You can pick up the C6 Z51 bars even cheaper than the Eibach bar $192. 05 from Gene at GMpartshouse.com. http://www.gmpartshouseusa.com enter part # C6z51bars
These bars have been recommended by the suspension guys Pfadt over the C6 Z06 bars for the C5 even though the C6 Z06 bars are bigger, because without the larger size tires of the C6 Z06 the Z06 bars will cause more oversteer (I think, this is what they said, maybe it was understeer, I'm not a suspension guy)
