Sway bars - STEINJAGER - Any experience?
I'm considering new bars on a base C5 coupe. Budget is always a consideration. I know Cultrag has good service/prices but I'm also looking at these bars. Looks like a good deal:
STEINJAGER J0015194: CORVETTE C5 FRONT AND REAR SWAY BARS WITH HEAVY DUTY END LINKS 1.25 FRONT AND 1.00 REAR 1997-2004. Includes Steinjager Heavy Duty Sway Bar Links using spherical rod ends
Anyone out there in Corvette land have any first hand experience with these STEINJAGERS ?

Which bolts did you have to go with? I´m about to order the end links too, and it would be nice to get the right bolts in the package?

I gotta be honest, for the money, quality and fitment I think the C6 Z51 or Z06 sway bars from Cultrag are the way to go. You are supporting a vendor and buying a known performer (also it's a neat conversation piece to say you have sway bars off of a 2012 Z51 or Z06). Concerning the heim end links (I'm sure everyone has their own opinion), for street driving where you may get caught in the rain and moisture can be an issue, I do not think they are an ideal choice. They have a tendency to get noisy unless you are regularly oiling them. This is one area where I think GM got it right with their aluminum endlinks with boots over the articulation points. My opinion would be to call up Gene and order the kit from him, the service alone is reason enough.
