Quick question--Z51 Swaybars
I am picking up a pair of Z51 swaybars for my non-Z51 C6. Besides the swaybars themselves, I believe I need to also buy the bushings. Is there anything else I will need?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I'm sure you got your swaybars from Parts Bob at Fichtner or Gene at Beans, 'cause that's where you get the best price and the best service. Either one of them will send the bushings with the bars, so you'll all set for your very easy DIY install.

I changed out my complete base suspension to Z51, including single front spring, all 4 shocks, and swaybars. I couldn't believe the difference. It definitely stiffened it up, as I wanted, but the ride is still perfectly acceptable.

Will changing to them most likely affect my warrantee?
Many Thanks, I'm new at this game..

What tools would you need if you DIY? Ramps? Jacks?
