Default PFAT Sway BAr Question

Maybe you can answer a question for me concerning sway bars.

I am currently looking to add a set of PFAT coil-overs and was thinking about adding their Fatty sway bars.
I have a set of Hotchkis (Brand new in the box)

If the Hotchkis are better then stock Z06 bars and the T1 bars are the most extreme where do the PFAT's compare?
I know they are adjustable. I would like to road race the car this year and was thinking the adjustability of the PFATS would be nice. I could adjust past Z06 for the street and then adjust to past T1 for the track.

Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Mike

Hotchkis describes them in relation to C5 Z51 bars here-

I was wondering the same thing should Should I just keep the Hotchis and add coil overs or do the "WHOLE" PFAT set-up?

P.S. How's it going Arnel?

It looks like the Pfadt streets are a nice bridge between the Hotchkis and T1's, which I had always thought the Pfatty's were. Although the Pfatty's can get tuned down below the T1's for the streets, it doesn't look to be by much.

Mike, get to Advanced on saturday and you can take mine for a spin since it'll have the pfatty's by then.

Might ask RacingFast, who just went from '04 shocks and T1 bars to full Phadt coilover ... listed the take-off's for sale here. He tracks it seriously.
