Summit and ZZP sway bars
 
Is this set of sway bars from Summitracing.com the exact same set from ZZP.com?

Here is the Summit sway bars:

And here is the ZZP sway bars:

It's just that Summit's sway bars are $115.83 together, versus ZZP who is at $176.99 together. Can anyone verify they're the same ones and the worthiness of these sway bars?

I see no difference, they are the same manufacturer and same diameter. Thats odd.

looks like the same to me lol how hard is it to install a kit like this and how much does it actually help

Enzo354 Mar 20, 2010 04:32 PM

It is supposed to help alot and Im sure its not too hard, not to sure if you have to drill.

I have the zzp ones and they are hardcore.... solid steel and diameter is bigger.... not sure if the summit ones might not be solid and that could be the reason its cheaper???

our cars come standard with sway bars i know mine comes stock with them plus when i got the car i had the dealer put on the gm performance ones. plus i never looked back because when i first drove the car it felt a little slopy with the better option it goes around corners alot cleaner exept i dont have the stb's on the car yet

anyone else have any information on this? it would be greatly appreciated, i plan on getting stb bars rear and back and the diagonal bars and kinda wanna get the performance package from gm also.

i think the gmpp ones are hollow and i belive came standered on the SS.

will these work for the LS/LS models???

ive got most of my exterior modding done and its nice out so im looking into suspension upgrades.


any will be an upgrade to what you have now.

I don't think the SS comes with these types of sway bars, these are supposed to be an upgraded sway bar, I believe.

As for the difficulty to install, I read all the comments on ZZP.com and it doesn't sound like it's an easy job. You have to have the right tools and have an idea of what you're doing, I'm sure it's not that difficult, but definitely out of my league.

Supposedly, these sway bars, especially front and rear combined, will really transform the handling aspects of your car.

some of the monte carlos such as tony stewart and intimidators came stock with them. . . the zzp ones are the exact same they just charge more than summit. I did the rear stock bar the install was easy and it improved handling quite a bit
