Adding Z51 sway bars.........question...
1. Can you add the Z51 sway bars to the F55 suspension AND,
2. if you can, is that going to mess up the calibration of the active handling system?

#2. No. AH doesn't know what size the bars are, it just measures lean/sway etc. of the chassis/body.

Yes, it's been done, do a search here.
It might not effect A/H much, as that system detects wheel slippage, and applies braking at the corner that's slipping. But, I would think GM would know the answer, if they're selling the parts.

I added the Z51 sway bars to my F55 suspension. No impact to active handling system. Given the improvement (basically eliminates body roll), probably one of the least expensive performance mods you can make. I recommend it!
