Just got back from 21st Century Muscle Cars here in the Dallas area. I had them install my Z51 sway bars and Pfadt urethane bushings. Man what a difference for not a lot of coin. The car handles much better now. I should have done this months ago.

Also the shop was very professional, everyone there was friendly and until now I've never seen so many Vettes being worked on at one time. An all-around great place to take your Vette if you're looking for routine maintenance or upgrades, or better yet Lingenfelter packages.

Very exciting. Sorry, but I forgot if you have F55 or Base on your car. Enjoy the new handling.

Did the same recently at a local tuner's shop. Yup, change is big. Did you set the Pfadts for a lower ride?

on the new mods, Sabooher........your posts are a credit to the forum and it is fun to watch you and others mod your cars to your taste.......I am thinking about doing the same suspenision mod you just did next year (I've done enough this year....).
Please let us know if the urethane bushings start to make any noise...what lubrication did you use on them?

Thanks everyone for the comments. Forgot to mention my car has the base suspension.

The Pfadt bushings came with two enclosed packets of some type of urethane specific lubricant.

That is a great mod. I had LGM install Z06 sways, big improvement in the way it handles.

Enjoy

Very cool. I noticed a big difference on my F55 with the Z51 sways and EE tunnel plate. I went when they had the "free supercharger with Z51 sways installation special."
