V6 Outboard Mount Rear Sway Bar Available at JPSS

When we designed our sway bars, we paid special attention to the needs of the V6 community. We tucked the ends of our rear sway bar in just enough to clear the banjo bolt on a V6 brake caliper. Our bars are 27mm adjustable front and 32mm rear solid.

This is a 1LE running with JPSS sway bars.



When the 2010 5th Gen was released with the inboard bar, it understeered / pushed badly when driven hard. A smaller front bar with a big rear bar improved the performance, but nothing like the GM engineering change to relocate the sway bar closer to the wheel on the ZL1. If you have upgraded sways, you can replace your rear bar with a JPSS bar and see a huge improvement. If you are on stock V6 bars, installing a JPSS set of bars will be transformational.



JPSS bars for that fit the V6 are in stock ready to ship today. You can read more about JPSS bars for your V6 here: http://www.jpssonline.com/#/jpss-black-magic-sway-bars/

Already having the pfadt sport setup, the adjustability is all done from the rear.

If I were to add the jpss outboard rear only bar, FIRST...would handling be so extreme as to be unmanageable?

As an example, those who only upgrade the rear at first, but run a stock bar.

A stock V6 with a square tire setup is an aggressive setup, but not one I would consider unmanageable.

The JPSS 32mm rear with the Pfadt front would bet a really good setup.

Are you square or staggered?

right now, I am staggered with the 20x8 fronts and the 20x9 rears (245-45-20/275-40-20). in the short future ive been looking to change to 20x9 fronts. but not sure if i'll get to that this year before autox is done.

happy to see a setup where you don't have to change the rear brakes finally!

sounds good. will be aiming to get it done before the 10th of October.

2x?lol, just messin, but I'm more a 4-5XL type. We usually call it a "Samoan xtra-smedium"
