This is all good information guys. Thanks for sharing.
ZZP Rear Sway Bar for Sonic - Anyone installed it?
- Thread starter barrstev
- Start date
mitdr774
also a dinner prick
Honestly, after driving the past few months with just the DDMW insert in the rear, I dont think the bar was doing as much as first though. I will probably run without it this year and see how it goes. Even if it is helping I know that the car can perform better than I am capable of.

I found this this morning on sonic-powered.com. I know there was debate in the thread earlier about whether sway bar link length made a difference.
"After you lower the suspension on the Sonic the front sway bar will sit improperly pointed downward. To fix this you will need shorten sway bar endlinks. CX Racing provides this in their coilover kit. And to increase performance the new ones are made of steel versus the plastic OEM ones that are known to flex."
I'm going to see if they sell these separately before I go with the MOOG Cobalt SS ones.

as far as a lot of us have seen, cxracing won't split their kits for individual parts.

I would just get the moog
The stock sized links in moog are k80252
The ss links are k750012
The ss links are a little shorter, I have rs stuts with lowering springs and they fit my car perfect.

I talked to Driven by Style and it'll take 6 weeks and $80.00 + tax + shipping.
I pu this in the wrong thread this morning, but thanks for the help. I'm going to go with the SS links.

Better than 74 days for metal pipes that make you go fast.

So they will do it but no wallet afterward instead of two moog endlinks that will be 20ish a pop wow. Glad you're going with experience and price over theirs

on topic, I'll be getting the ZZP Rear Sway Bar for my RS. I'm looking forward to running it with the BNR Front and the DDM Rear Brace on some new tires. Should be finished putting everything together by fall.

You really only need one rear brace
Zzp or the ddm paired with the bnr front with decent tires will make a world of difference.

mitdr774, that's good news I can save like 230 bucks. It was you I had read who had both, but you had that adjustable front.
Anyone using these? Without the ZZP, I can now afford one of these, 2012-2015 Chevy Sonic RS PRD Front Lower X-Brace - Advance Automotive

Yes, I have been testing this part for a couple months now. I will know for sure when the tracks open up but it seems like it tightened the front end up in the turns.

it looks like a good idea to me, bracing the front end like that. I'm going to give it a try.

I still get some creaking when I go over uneven roads. Tightened it to the point of my ratchet with pry bar on it giving way. Are you guy's pretty quiet?
