Here is some good suspension information regarding swaybars.

Parts taxi has it the cheapest - roughly 100 bucks. Ask them to double box it for you, as ups does a wonderful job destroying boxes...

Does the extra 5 lbs. of spring rate really make that much difference in front end stiffness/handling?

The reason I ask is...I was thinking of changing out the front spring on my 2010 GS (currently the car suspension is stock except for Koni FSD shocks) with the Z06 front spring and installing a ZR1 front sway bar. Or just keep the GS stock front spring and installing the ZR1 front sway bar. The rear of the car would remain unchanged, These applications would be for street use.

Anyone have any input on those set-ups???
Please advise.

I like being able to adjust the ride at the switch so I would like to keep that option.
