Default Which sway bars?

Just wondering which sway bars would be the better choice?

The setup from GM parts direct

http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results...ber=pk12456148

or the ones from ZZP

http://www.zzperformance.com/grand_p...=571&catid=138

Any thoughts anyone?

For sway bars, I honestly don't know which is better.

As for the STB, IMO, the one from GM Parts Direct is better...

I believe those are the same setups.
The GMPP handling package is the same no matter which vendor is selling it.

Take note that it already came stock on some Monte's.
I forget the production code, but it's something like ST4.
If you have that particular code in the list on your driver side door, then you have the GMPP kit (excluding the strut tower brace that is).

ZZP's Strut Tower Brace is different than the GM strut tower brace. I've bought both, and threw away the ZZP STB, IMO the GM STB is better quality, and it does not require the grinding that the ZZP STB does. Plus the ZZP one does not fit well in 7th gens because of the alternator....

i'm pretty sure the GMPP sway bars came on the 06-07 SS's also, but not the LS, LT's.

Darn mine is an FE3. Oh well time to save up some pennies and purchase the GMPP setup as I do not have the STB on my car either.

hay mamon did you have to do any thing to the stabiliser bar to put it on or modify it or did it bolt right up?
