I will stay with the C5z bars insufficient improvement to justify Posts: 3473 | From: Pennsylvania | Registered: Jul 2001  |  IP: Logged |  86Z51 Full Throttle Member Member # 968 posted                           That's a lot of data that Chewey provided, but what I didn't see was that Pfadt's bars are adjustable and give you a range. When you combine front and rear adjustability, it really allows you to dial in the car. If I seem to be a fan of Pfadt's products, I am. I had been looking for adjustable sway bars for the Vette for years. Posts: 1043 | From: arizona | Registered: Nov 2001  |  IP: Logged |  Quick Reply Message: HTML is not enabled.
