Default T1 Sway Bars on C6?

Can T1 sway bars fit on a 05 C6 with Z51 package?

For those people who have T1s can you "feel the difference" from before?

GM has a new C6 T1 package. You should contact Phoenix racing, if your normal dealer can't track it down. They might be hard to get until the serious racers get a chance. That being said, the C5 T1 bars might fit. I only have one lift, and haven't compared bars side-by-side.

These are huge bars, and will make a difference. I personally think you should change springs as well, but that's just my opinion.

Thanks for the reply.

Any reason you prefer changing the springs other than just making the ride stiffer?

I just think any car that is driven to the point of needing a bar that big, can only benefit from having springs that match. The systems are designed to work together, and asking the huge bars to control roll on an under-sprung car just isn't ideal.

That being said, several C5 guys love the T1 bars on street cars, and the C6 suspension is the same...

I'm running a C5 T1 rear bar of my C6 (non-Z51) to increase oversteer just a bit. I wouldn't use this bar on a Z51.

Hi there,
GM has made a new T1 sway bar kit which fits both the C5 and C6 from the same kit. Actually, the C5 and C6 kit were the same before the rear bar. Now the rear bar is able to be used with C5 and C6.

We have that available as well as the complete C6 T1 suspension kit. We were the first dealer in the country to sell the C6 kit!

Thanks,
Gene
