The newer style rear bar will fit (here's someone who did it: https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=463979). Just make sure you have the right lower control arms by checking for a ~1/2" or so hole at the outer end of the arm which is where the drop-link will go. I believe the bars will come with the brackets and bushings already on it. Front bar and links are the same design as other years/trim levels.
What wheels/tires are you running? Springs/shocks/coil-overs? Depending on your setup you may want to go with bars designed for similar setups - for example, the SS bars are designed for the staggered 245/275 tires combo, 1LE for the square 285's.

Just do a search. Plenty of past info on it. The issue if I remember is V6 brake calipers hitting FE4 sway bar. I put a hotchkiss rear bar in for this reason but then later installed brembo and BMR LCA’s on so I don’t remember all the details.

All front bars will fit. Later cars had 12mm front endlinks, but the early front bars can be drilled out to accept them. Rear bar will only fit if it's a Hotchkis rear bar with vertical endlink holes or the discontinued Pedders solid rear bar. Stock ZL1 rear bar with horizontal endlinks won't work unless you upgrade the rear calipers to Brembos.

Ahh. I must apologize, I forgot about the V6 caliper clearance issue; when I read your post I was thinking about the convertible (including V8's) coming with the older style bar and forgot about the caliper clearance. With that said, I have the JPSS bar (possibly the same as the Pedders bar) and it fits fine, although I did find out that if you're lowered enough (I'm somewhere between 1.25" and 1.5" in the rear) and maybe depending on your camber (I'm at -1.0° I believe) the bar will actually bump into the caliper and push it out, so I had to grind down the edges of the bar near the caliper. I suspect as the pads wear more the bar may contact again, but only time will tell - if this happens I'll just grind out more, until flush with the mounting hole.

Nope not lowered. Stock height
I just figured if it was an easy fit for guys that have upgraded to aftermarket sways, and are selling their stock ZL1 sways.

ZL1 will fit front.
ZL1 rear, needs 2012+ rear LCAs, for the different end link mount holes. They are the straight bar type, -vs- the dog-bone type. I got ZL1 front and rear suspension for $200 locally, 2-3 mile take-offs. Front struts, not using. Rear shocks, put on. Front sway bar & links, will put on. Rear sway bar & links, will put on when I replace the LCAs. Rear toe arms And, I got these for $27 shipped: |
