I use my zo6 for both hpde track days and autocross events. I don't care about staying in a certain class I just want to go as fast as possible . I started out using T1 bars with stock c5zo6 suspension. Recently I upgraded to pfadt coilovers and wide ccw wheels and tires. My question is what sway bar combination is optimal for track and auto-x. The T1's feel pretty good on the track with the rears on the softest settings. However in auto-x I feel like the car is too stiff with the T1's and likes to push going into turns and spin coming out of turns. I just put on my stock zo6 bars to try next weekend at auto-x and I'm hoping my tires won't rub with them. Anyone have any suggestions? Do people use different sway bars or settings for track vs. auto-x? Thanks.

Well, I can definitely say that the driving is so different it would make sense to run different setups for auto cross and road racing. I know the T-1 setup is optimized for the latter. My gut feeling is that you need more softness in the suspension for autocross.

Yeah it makes sense to at least have different settings. I think I will try one day next weekend with the stock bars and one day with the T1's and see how it feels. Just driving around on the street I notice the stock bars have a LOT more body roll than the T1's. I thought it might be interesting to step back and see how the car feels with the stock bars and go from there.

I'd recommend you try out the Pfadt bars. They're works of art and very adjustable to help dial in the car to where you want it. I have their bar on the front of my superstock Z06 and its phenomenal.

Street or competition bar? I was wondering what the super stock guys used in front. Thanks.
