Which sway bars to get

I am just trying to figure out what are the best sway bars to get. I did some searching but didnt find much. I was thinking about either the eibachs or the OTTP or something else. Just looking to see what other are running and if they were good. I have 07 LT.

Turbo Tech Racing rear sway bar is the best one out there. The Eibachs I believe haven't bee made yet, at least I haven't see anyone with them.

I thought they were out... would you suggest just doing the rear or do both the front and the rear.

TTR is probably better for your application. Don't worry about the front sway bar. it's a pain to remove and won't help you much.

Really now? I didnt know the TTR one was on the time attack cobalt... wait it wasnt that was the OTTP...

If I were to get them anytime soon it would be the front bar off the ss/tc and the rear from OTTP, the rear would have to be the hardcore bar, I like a little bit of oversteer on a FWD.

Well if memory serves me correctly an base model cobalt is not a time attack car and the TTR bar is cheaper and works well. So why spend the extra dough unless you are going all out including, struts, shocks and other parts for suspension.

a base model is just as close to a time attack car as an ss/sc or ss/tc the unibody is all the same, it isnt like higher end models got extra bracing and crap.

Well the whole thing is up to the OP. You can get very good performance with the TTR bar or amazing performance with the OTTP and pay 20-30% more.

The Eibach or OTTP 1.0 bar is the best bar for most people in my opinion. Especially on an otherwise stock LT
