sway bar upgrade with headers??
Was considering changing my sway bars with headerswap.I have a 2008 c6 man non z51. Should I upgrade or not really worth it unless you do shocks too? If yes, do you know of anyone offering a good price?Thanks

Just picking up a set of Z51 swaybars is a great, cheap upgrade that only takes about an hour.
You can buy them from PartsTaxi, who sponsors this site.

What size wheels and tires are you running if you have increased in them then for the handeling performance it is a nice upgrade and can be done for about $200 from either Parts Taxi or GM Parts House both are supporting sponsors

Thanks for the referal!
You will notice a huge difference with the sway bar upgrade. I hear quite a few people call it the best mod for the money.
