c5/c6 sway bar interchange?
is there an interchange here?
I have seen a couple aftermarket companies advertise the rear sway bar as compatible with c5.....is that true?
what about the front ones?
I really hope the rear bars are compatible as I could save some serious cash to put elsewhere

bump...this is most important since suspension is at the top of my list right now.
from what I have read the stock rear sway bar on a c6 is 28.8? Which is better than most aftermarket options and can be had for 1/4 of the price!
the front c6 sway bar i am kinda meh about but still considering.

Yesterday I installed c6 z06 sway bars on my c5 z06. Front and back. No issues whatsoever!!!! Save yourself some money.

Where did you purchase them from? How much?
Any noticeable difference so far?
The C5Z has a wild looser rear end as is. I'm wondering how much thicker is needed at the back. The front could go stiffer actually. 🤔

Not sure if you were asking me, but I got mine from a friend that replaced his c6 z06 swaybars. I made him a offer and he sold them to me. I haven’t been able to really test it out, but just messing around on some corners it seems to be flatter and less likely to let the back end come around. Check eBay or your local corvette shop for customers that upgraded their c6 z06 swaybars. I’m sure you can find a great deal if you don’t mind them not being new.
