Well I finally ordered them
I ordered a set of C6 Z51 sways and poly bushings from Gene. These should go along well with the HD endlinks I picked up from my local vendor Zip Products. I already had metal endlinks but these HD's were a big improvement over them. Hopefully these new bars will be an even bigger improvement. The car is a Z51 but it was just too boaty feeling on the twisties.
Cudo's to 2 great vendors!

You are going to love it, if you like cornering without braking like I do. It will feel like it's on rails with just a hair of nosedive to make it civil...one of the best mods I've ever done, and way cheaper than those $1000 fancy anodized setups you see here that end up with about the same streetability.

Were yours all scuffed up when you got them? I ordered a set with the endlinks and shocks as well. Opened up the box and it looked like they were drug all the way to my house. It's just cosmetic but kind of bumbed about it. May have to pay to have them powdered before I install them.

Thanks for the business. We do have it written clearly on the site that they can be scratched when you receive them. The way they are delivered to us there is no way to defer that from happening. Good luck on the mod.

Well my sway bars came in on the 23rd. Ironicly the day after my fuel pump died in my DD. It was wet out today but warm so I threw some cardboard down and installed my new swaybars. Haven't taken it for a spin yet but I'm sure I will before the end ofthe day.

Save the money and use it for the next handling mod, whatever you think it should be.
Really, you got them to make the car handle better, not for "show" purposes. (No "dis" - just sayin.......

I can understand the concern for the look of them. I mean honestly, I'm a picky guy about things and I honestly don't have a problem with scratched sway bars, but that's not to say someone else may not have a problem with it. That is why I have a disclaimer saying if you're looking for perfect bars, I don't have them. If I got them in perfect condition, I could do better as well.
