Default C5 sway bars fit C6

Corvette garage shows the T1 bars as a direct replacement for the C5 and C6 suggesting they are the same. Anyone verify this?

The only note was that the C6 mufflers required changing to fit the rear bar. I moved my mufflers back 1/2" from the stock position- if you loosen the fitting and retighten them apart slightly you can gain clearance for the rear bar.

BTW- DRM has the coil-over shocks for the C6 now so with tires and sway bars this car should easily hit the 1.1g mark

The T1 sway bars for the C5 and C6 are NOT the same. C6 T1 bars are slightly shorter ( end link holes in differnt places).

The C6T1 bars or full C6 T1 kit should be avalibe now. Contanct Gene at Fred Beans ( forum Vender )
