I believe that a lot of the V6 guys were doing that swap back in the day.

But is it a good balance in this case? i.e. SS sways added to my RS Camaro was a net positive in my book. Granted the cars are totally different, but I'm unsure the aftermarket sways are well balanced (Hotchkis seems like too big of a rear bar). Seems like CTS-V or Eibach would be the best choices. Anyone have some '07 CTS-V sways they want to unload?
