Help IDing Sway Bar
So I put my car up on jack stands for the first time and discovered my car already has C6 Z06 shocks. Now I’m curious if the previous owner also swapped out the sway bars. I can’t see any part number or identifying marks on it. Can anyone ID just by looking at it?

You should measure the outer diameter, a cheap caliper should get the measurement close enough.
The rear OD numbers are below, looks like it will most likely be 19.1 or 23.6mm:
* C5 Base Suspension: 23 mm-front / 19.1 mm-rear / 3.81mm/2.0mm thickness
* C5 Z51 (97-99): 25.4 mm-front / 21.7 mm-rear
* C5 Z51 (00-04): 28.6 mm-front / 23.6 mm-rear / 4.15mm/3mm thickness
* C5 Z06: 30.0 mm-front / 23.6 mm-rear / 4.5mm/3.5mm thickness
* C6 Base: ?? mm-front / 22.0 mm (7/8")-rear
* C6 Z51: 31 mm-front / 25.4 mm (1")-rear
* C6 Z06: 31 mm-front / 28.8 mm-rear
* C5 Hotchkis: 31.75 mm-front / 25.4 mm-rear / 4mm/4mm thickness
* C5/C6 Addco: 32 mm-front / 25.4 mm-rear
* C5/C6 Addco: 35 mm-front / 25.4 mm-rear
* C5 Pfadt (Adjustables): 32 mm-front / 26 mm-rear http://www.pfadtracing.com/
* C5 Pfadt (Adjustables): 35 mm-front / 28.5 mm-rear (Pfatty)
* C5 T1 (GM Racing): 38.4 mm-front / 27.5 mm-rear / 6.35/6.35 thickness
* C6 T1 (GM Racing): 38.4 mm-front / 27.5 mm-rear / 6mm/?? thick

ps- It appears from the picture that the PO also upgraded to OEM metal endlinks. I could be wrong, but if so, that is good news as well.
