I've seen adjustable sway bars and none adjustable? What is the difference, why would you want to adjust a sway bar? I'm looking at this set made by PFADT and it looks nice, just don't understand the difference.

I have never heard of adjustable sway bars. Sway bars essentially deter the car's tendancy to pitch or lean towards the outside of a turn. Aftermarket sway bars are stiffer than OEA bars. Most racers use T1 bars available from GM. For the street they aren't required. The bars are typically installed with stiffer shocks (Bilstein for example) or with Coil overs (again for road racing).

Agree with Tom, T1 bar from GM or check Hotchkis performance

FYI... Hotchkis NEW sway bars (for C6 and C6 Z06) should be ready for release in about 2-3 weeks. I was just on the phone with them yesterday.
