Sway bar upgrade. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So im looking to swap out my stock sway bars on my V6 with a front and rear set of either Hotchkis or Eibach. But im unsure who i should go with. Any ideas? There prices are about the same.

Also on my V6 should i go ahead and upgrade the tow links and trailing arms? This is just a daily beaten street car. I take it to the drag stip from time to time but not to much due to the tranny in these cars being so weak.

Had Hotchkis on mine and all my cars til the 2012. Prefer them to Eibach. Member here had Eibach and said were not great and holes for endlinks not even close to each other on location.

1LE/ZL1 sway bars may still be the best bang for your buck im in ours front and rear just at 300 bucks you being a 2010 youll need new rear lower control arms and links but for the price their hard to beat

Be sure to check a potential problem if you go this way.I hear the rear bar hits the rear brakes and not useable

I went with the Pfadt bars, been on for 10 months and haven't had any issues...just a lot of fun....lol....

^^ So did I and my old ones are for sale if you are interested.

I liked the adjustability and how quiet they were.
