they look like they may be interchangeable (C5/C6), but I haven't actually tried it yet. If so, that would open lots of options.

Yes, they said they are testing them for rate now and January/February is the stated release date. I used the BMR's on my C5 and I would use them if they were available. I know the sway bars are the same for the C5 and C6 if you change the mufflers to a smaller size one.

The front sway bar is identical but the rate may be different.

Spindoctor is right, the front C5 t-1 bar will go on. It is a very tight fit because of the fan shroud. The rear bar will go on if you switch out to BandB route 66 (i'm sure other will fit but I don't know forsure)

I can get the C6 T1 bars. I believe I sold them for 750 shipped.

Gene, I ordered a Z06 rear bar from you today until the T-1's are available for the C6 without having to change the exhaust.
