HOUSTON! We have a problem!
I think you sent me the wrong rear sway bar. You sent me PN 10339124 which comes up a ZO6 sway bar and it will not fit on the rear of the 1998 C5. It does not look even similar to the configuration of the original one I removed.
I've installed the front one, which was much thicker than I expected so maybe it was a ZO6 as well. It was supposed to be the Z51 sway bars and the Z06 shocks.
HELP!!!
If you have a 10339124 you have the correct rear bar for a z51 ! It sounds like it has to do with the angle you are looking at your existing bar that makes it appear different. We have sold hundreds of these for C5's without issue so you should have no problems

Yep I think I was just having a bad morning. Walked out from writing this post and it went right on. My sincerest apologies. I thought I had tried every angle.

I will try to remove my previous post later.
Feeling like an idiot...
No worries it happens to the best of us from time to time
Thank you for all of the orders. We are truly humbled by your support and the sheer volume of orders. You have until tomorrow night to get in on the sale!
We have the Z51 sway bars kit with the Genuine GM bushings for $257.95
The reason people use these bars most on the C5’s and the C6’s is because unless you’re running 325 width tires in the rear, these are the way to go. These bars don’t cause the vehicle to ride “stiffer” per se. They are mostly for the cornering ability.
You know that feeling when you’re going into the turn and the car leans pretty heavily? These bars are meant to make the vehicle feel flatter in the turns and corner much better in the turns. Another advantage is the handling when you’re coming out of the turn. When you come out of the turns you will not be fighting the wheel as much as you would with the stock bars. These bars, since they’re thicker, make it easier all the way through the turns.
Below are the specifications and comparisons of the C6 Z51 sway bars compared to other Corvette suspension packages.
We offer these sway bars with the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks. Also, whether it is a C5 or C6, coupled with the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks it makes a total different handling package. This package speaks for itself as we have many testimonials from many customers from whom we sold these to here on the forum!
25919502 – Front stabilizer bar
10339124 – Rear stabilizer bar
10387838 – Front stabilizer bar bushings (2)
15241135 – Rear stabilizer bar bushings (2)
Complete kit front and rear is $257.95.
Use part number c6z51bars on our website.
2013 C6 Z06 Shocks!
We sell the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks for $309.95. Many C5 customers ask us why we don’t recommend the 2004 shocks over the 2013. Many people also say that the C6 shocks are only developed for the C6. If you look at all of the basic suspension components between the C5 and C6, they are very much the same. The reason we don’t recommend the 2004 Z06 shocks over the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks is simply because of the price and customer feedback. We have many customers who have tried both sets of shocks and cannot tell the difference between the two, so why not purchase the lesser expensive set!
For the C5, not C5 Z06, we also recommend the C6 Z51 sway bar kit. The C6 Z51 sway bar kit coupled with the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks is our most popular suspension and handling upgrade for the C5.
10313647 – Z06 Front Shocks
25819268 – Z06 Rear Shocks
Both sets of front and rear shocks (4) $309.95 total.
For the shocks on our website, use part number c6z06shocks.
The C6 Z06 shocks will work on stock C5’s and C6’s without modification.
Thank you,
Gene.
Question my car is a stock C5 coupe, how much work would it take to do the install with the sway bar kit, I am going to take it to a shop to install them. And plus do I need anything else then the sway bar kit.

They shouldn't charge anymore than 1-2 hours.
You may need new end links. You'll have to decide for yourself if you need them. If you currently have plastic end links replace them. If they are metal don't replace them unless they are making noise.
