Default C6 Sways are in

Just put on my C6 Z51 sway bar kit the other day. Holy crap! What a HUUUGGGGGEEEE difference!! I'm running Bilstein sports, fully lowered on stock bolts. I noticed somewhat of a difference when I installed the shocks last year. I never really paid attention to how puny the stock sways are. I expected an improvment with the new sways, but I never thought it would be like this.....it really is like a different car. Taking corners much much faster than before.....like its on rails! Best $210 I've spent on the car!!

I know what you mean. I took the stock ones off last year and put on the C6 Z06 sways (wider tread). Couldn't stop smiling first drive after the swap. So much more confidence in the corners now. Couldn't believe the difference. Enjoy

What's the difference in the C6 Z51 sway bar kit you guys installed and the C5 Z51 kit that GM Direct sells?
