Default Front Sway Bar question??

Anyone know if the stock front sway bar off a 94 Z28 will fit onto a 97 WS6 LT1 Bird? Friend of mines front bar is bent and he wants to buy my stock one off me but we are unsure if it fits??

Yeah it will work as long as you use the bushings from the Z28. The Z28 bar is smaller in diameter. I would stick with the WS6 one if it can be straightened out, it's better.

a stock ws6 front sway bar is larger in diameter and therefore uses different bushings. You can find the ws6 sway bars on ebay often for less than 100 bucks for a set ususally.
