GM OEM Part Number: 25919502 and 20777536 are no longer available from GM. They have been both discontinued.
We are now substituting Steinjager Sway Bars for the C6 Z06 and C6 Z51 sway bars. We have tested them and found them to be equivalent to the GM OEM bars or better.
You know that feeling when you’re going into the turn and the car leans pretty heavily? These bars are meant to make the vehicle feel flatter in the turns and corner much better in the turns. Another advantage is the handling when you’re coming out of the turn. When you come out of the turns you will not be fighting the wheel as much as you would with the stock bars. These bars, since they’re thicker, make it easier all the way through the turns.
NOTE: the C6 Z51 and the C6 Z06, Grand Sport Front (ONLY) Sway Bars are exactly the same. The rears however are different with the C6 Z51 being smaller. We do not recomend the rear C6 Z06 sway bars for the rear of the C5.
Below are the specifications and comparisons of the C6 Z51/Z06 sway bars compared to other Corvette suspension packages.

Many C5 customers ask us why we don’t recommend the 2004 shocks over the 2012. Many people also say that the C6 shocks are only developed for the C6. If you look at all of the basic suspension components between the C5 and C6, they are very much the same. The reason we don’t recommend the 2004 Z06 shocks over the 2012 C6 Z06 shocks is simply because of the price and customer feedback. We have many customers who have tried both sets of shocks and cannot tell the difference between the two, so why not purchase the lesser expensive set!
For the C5, not C5 Z06, we also recommend the C6 Z51 sway bar kit. The C6 Z51 sway bar kit coupled with the 2012 C6 Z06 shocks is our most popular suspension and handling upgrade for the C5.
