Sway bars
Ok, I had this topic in the General Section and I had no answers
or even ideas. Now I will try my question here.
Basic info--C-5, C-6 ZO-6 shocks, Hyperco raceing springs,
325x19 tires,Wilwood brakes on 14 in. rotors, and C-6 ZO-6
sway bars. I autocross and some high speed events. The sway
bars are 31 mm front and 28mm rear. I have thought about C-6
ZR-1 sway bars that are 33 mm front and 31 mm rear. The cost
is slight but is it worth it--it's just a couple of mm ; would it
be worth the effort to change to ZR-1 sway bars.? Oh yea I also
run the 1/4 mile, I expect alot out of my 2000 vette.
Any good ideas would be helpful, thanks.

You can't have to many sway bars. I have run 35, 32, 30, and 27.5mm in the front, depending on what other suspension/tires I had at the time. I have run Hotchkis, C5 Z06, and no rear bar depending on what other suspension/tires I had at the time. So you either try it yourself or buy some expensive adjustable sway bar set. I don't think anyone can give you an answer your looking for. You also have to be driving the car at 10/10th's. for it to really matter. Hope this helped a little.
