Anyone have a link or two?
If you didn't run across one, here is my DIY description for replacing the rear swaybar on a Z-51 with a Z06 bar, along with pics. Didn't need to swap the front because they are the same diameter on both vehicles.

I would like to thank all of you who posted tips. Looks like it should be an easy install.

One final question, I am assumming the new bars come with the correct size bushings?

No they don't. if you order a new bar through a dealer like Gene Culley you will have to order bushings. I think I speak for most of us on the site ;Get poly bushings. the best are from pfadt.
good luck,
Mike
