Default Bushing Sizes

I'm about to install Z06 sway bars on my 03 Vert. Am I correct in assuming that since the bars are larger (dia) that I will need to replace the bushings. If so, I'd like to use Poly bushing. Can anyone tell me what size the front and rear bars are? I think I read somewhere that the Z06 fronts are 30.0mm and the rears are 23.6mm.

What poly bushings do you recommend? I've looked at Ecklers and they don't seem to have the correct sizes.

You don't have to assume, just check out the C5 General Sticky.

Get the VBP bushings. Several weeks ago, two other people here got other bushings....two different brands at that. I think one gave up on his bushings and bought VBP bushings! Buy direct from VBP.
