There has been some chatter lately about the size of the new grand sport sway bars. Rumor has it they are of an even larger diameter than the Z06 and T1 sways bars. At around $200 for a pair this may end up being the best option for many folks looking to upgrade.

Can somebody with access to the Grand Sport sway bars measure their diameter and reply, as I know several people are looking for the final word on this matter.

Thanks in advance.

I have some on the way, I will post of the mic'd measurements when I receive them. The seller said they were 48 mm front and 30 mm rear.

Wow, if they are indeed that large, those are some big bars. Certainly a better deal than the ridiculously overpriced T1 setup.

Gotcha

Grand Sport Bars are the same size as Z06: 31mm front, 27.9mm rear

C6 Base: ..25.5mm front, 17.5mm rear
C6 Z51: ...31mm front 25.6mm rear
C6T1: .....38.4mm front, 27.5 rear
C6 ZR1: . .33mm front, 31mm rear

Gotcha

I'm sure you could have someone bend up some 2 1/2 solid bar, just imagine! how much better that would be than ANYTHING out there!

Not sure why I don't see any info about the Eibach bars in here. I bought them and they are 32mm for the front and 29mm for the rear. Plus the rear is adjustable.

How much for the Eibachs?

mfquinn

I bought them from Tire Rack a while back for $200. They had a sale on

Thanks for the useful info, we're all better for having received the splendor that is your commentary.

I think if you read between the lines he's saying that bigger doesn't always make it better .......

when it comes to sway bars.

0Cajun @ Edgyvette

Looking on a good deal on the Eibach setup. I like that brand and the diameters are larger.

My woman says "bigger is always better" so that is my philosophy. :+)

Quijeeboe

I understand, but I'm also asking for specs on what is an OEM part.

Just wasn't appreciated that's all.

AH no! you were telling us how the chatter was that the gs bars would be a worth while upgrade, meaning bigger is better,

STROKD

ur comment although funny, doesnt pertain to the engineers at Chevrolet making a car that handles and performs almost as good as a Z06... if the bars are not the same, GM figured something out.

I have some on the way, I will measure them when I receive them. If they are Z06 bars, then so be it, I still paid less for them than the Z06 bars sell for.

I think your woman is giving you a hint to get some Enzyte

glenB

It's my understanding they are the same bars.

0Cajun @ Edgyvette

Its not the bore, its the stroke

Unless there was something different in production the catalog does not list any different sway bars for the Grand Sport.
