    Z06 Sway Bars VS Stock C5 Sway Bars

    i paid 1700$ for sway bar kit , NOT stage 1. stage 1 includes shocks which if you have magnétic suspension (F45) you need To add simulator kit (450$). corvetteplus in Montréal, they installed it and did alignment/cornerweight in place.

    Z06 Sway Bars VS Stock C5 Sway Bars
