Ya, kind of afraid of that. I do not track the car nor am I an extreme aggressive driver and user. I have just experienced some chatter and loss of control at higher speeds and going over bumps. Hope these slightly stiffer sway bars will help. Can you assist me with the diameter of the front and backs? How many miles on the car when taken off? did you swap out sway bars on your ZO6? I found a set on ebay that i am considering thinking of making an offer. What do you think you would let these go for? I would consider $250 all in for me with freight?

stiffer sway bars won't help with that...need better shock absorber damping might

Shocks are also part of the upgrade. I have all winter to complete this project. Paypal will be completed today. Are the sway bars for sale? Price to ship to Idaho?

I bought used Z51 sways and lightly used Z06 shocks for my base narrow body from this forum. Night and day difference in handling and stability. That was over 50K miles ago. I have a set of Bilstein B6's to replace the Z shocks when time allows. Very pleased with the combo. I've read, on this forum I believe, that Z06 or ZR1 sways are too much for a narrow body Vettes due to tire size limitations.

Appreciate the information. I was a bit concerned with the stiffer ZO6 sway bars. I think i will now look for Z51 bars. would they also be considered as FE3?
