Watched for a reply, none seen - yet. One question, why are you looking to change? I put ure bushings on my GTI VR6 motor mounts to help stabilize it, but I'm not sure of the advantage (for the potential expense) for the rear sways. If there is a compelling reason, I'm all ears as I put the Z51 sways on both front and rear without any problems with the supplied bushings. No 'squeeks' as the body moves, etc. Thanks.

Did you try suspension technologies? I have seen Z06 sway bars out there in the ads, which is supposed to be a little lagger than Z51 (as I heard), that's a thought. If you are into rigidity, why not have a fabrication make a shock tower brace, more trouble but keeps it very level.
