I have the C6 sway bar upgrade sitting in my garage and would like to put them on my C5 FRC today. I have limited mechanical skills but I do learn...slowly.
It looks like a straightforward procedure but if there are any hints or warnings I would truly appreciate them....

If you have a FRC you most likely have plastic end links. I hope you ordered the upgraded metal ones with it. If not order those then change the sway bar. I tore up my plastic ones getting them off.

make sure you put the rear bar in the rear and the front bar in the front.

sorry, i could not resist after reading your other post and your front/rear bar mixup. ;-)
