Go to www.jeffhardy.com, click on any Z51, get the VIN# for that Vette, and give it to your dealer. They can use that VIN#, to get the sway bar info, from their computer. -- That's what I did, and it worked for me. -- Good luck. --

Well I ordered the Z51 sway bars from Gene. Anyone have any recommendations on what bushings I should use. Thanks.

If you search, there are a whole bunch of threads that recommend the Pfadt polyurethane bushings, so that is what I put on mine. I didn't even bother with the GM rubber.

The Pfadt Bushings really enhance the Z51 swaybars. Get Em.

This is where I bought mine.. I would also recommend you replace the end-links. It's not cheap ($140 to 200), but the cast links you get from GM are usually the first thing on the car to break.

the replacement is easy once you get the wheels off the ground. You will need to have a borrow a decent torque wrench. In the end, you have a MUCH better car for the effort.
