I'm not sure if you want Z06 or T1 swaybars because your heading says Z06 then you ask about T1s. They're not the same.

The GM T-1s are the stiffest swaybars out there and may affect your ride. Hotchkiss swaybars are in between Z06 and T1s.

Z06 and T1s can be obtained from GM (for a price) or all three from several vendors on the Forum.

Z06 are GM option code FE4 on the suspension. I'd check places like West Coast Corvettes, GMDirect or Eckler's before going straight to GM for those.

Good luck!!!

Well, a Z51 is still not a Z06 sway bar. I had Z51s on my coupe and replaced them with Hotchkis. Here's a chart that may be helpful to you:



T-1s would be below the Hotchkis (or stiffer, yet).

Try Gene at Fred Beans Chevy. They usually have these for a decent price.

"May" affect ride?

They're bloody stiff, mate.

My car is pretty damn firm (Z06 springs, sways, and Koni stiff-as-hell shocks) and I wouldn't even THINK about driving on the street with the T1's. Ouchy.

I believe you will also want the aluminum end links as well. Suporting vendor Fichtner sells a kit.

Ooops. Yeah that was kind of an understatement. I should have said that T-1s require that you also have a good dental plan for when your teeth get jarred out of place.
