I have them they are a little heavy but I noticed a difference from my Z51 i also changed to 04 Z06 shocks when i did it too. I got the sway bars from Texas Speed.

You might even want to consider Z06 front and rear sway bars. They might be cheaper then the BMR's. The only thing you need beside the bars are new bushings. I have that I my car and I noticed a difference in handling when I switched bars. :cheers:

I would suggest the Z06 bars for most applications. I'm running them and love them for street autoX duty. Anything stiffer tends to get rough on the street. :cheers:
