I don't have sizes available. They aren't the same though or they would be the same part numbers as the others. I would like to see someone try them so we can get some info!

You can purchase online from GM Parts House 24/7. Feel free to order online or give me a call.

As indicated they are different bars. They are larger than the Z06. I don't know the size on the rear but the front bar is 33.3mm (1.311") from what I've been told.

The front bars are the same size and the Z06 rears are 2 mm larger according to previous threads on this subject.

Would it be safe to assume that swaybars would go from Base to Z51, Z06 and then ZR1. Always heard people with Base going to Z51 and were real happy, why not go right to ZR1 now?

From what I understand, unless you increase the tire size, you'll get into some serious oversteer with the Z06/ZR1 sways on stock tires/rims.

Exactly, its not just a "bigger is better" situation. They must be balanced front to rear and also with tire sizes

You better know how to deal with the oversteer; however, predictable oversteer can be a joy once you get the hang of it.
