Am I crazy??????
I have a 2013 1LT And I just installed a ZL1 factory rear sway bar. The front is on the way. The installation was easy. Kind of a pain to get the bar over the exhaust.
Here is my question going over speed bumps and some bumps in the road. The car seems stiffer than before. Is this just me?? In the corners car is definitely more planted in the rear. A lot more rear grip now than front. Which is giving me a slight oversteer problem. But the stiffness over bumps has me scratching my head......... Like I said. Could totally be in my head. If that's the case. I get it......... Don't judge me. LoL Sent from my Sparkyz iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hmmmm.....I was under the impression that the FE4 style bars wouldn't fit on a V-6 car because of interference with the V-6 rear brake calipers?!?!? Maybe it's just on the aftermarket FE4 bars that have the adjustable mounting locations for the end links??? Hmmm, learn something new every day!!!

Mounted in stock location. No problems........... Other than it is a tight fit.

Stock ZL1 location. Apparently my rear lower control arms have the same mount holes as a ZL1.

Will the TCA028 rear lower control arms work with this rear sway bar as well? The end link mounts near the end of the arm close to the caliper. Sent from my Sparkyz iPhone using Tapatalk |

I figured you did, just messing with you. If you do have any other suspension questions or upgrades I would highly recommend BMR. Keith is very knowledgable and can help you figure out what you need.

The mere size difference between the stock rear 1LT SWAY bar and a stock rear ZL1 sway bar blew me away.
