I would recommend this package for any vette owner. Whether you track your car or not. The JOC inspires a confidence in spirited driving that I did not have with my Z51 package. The best part is you get that confidence with minimal impact in driver comfort.

Are these set up for any specific spring setup? It looks like they were tested on a C6, but I'm running a C5 Z51 coupe. Should I also be looking into a stiffer spring to match the dampers/sways?

Great Question!
We kept the rear JOC bar adjustable to suite your specific tires/alignment/spring/driving style. The short of it is... you will gain a huge amount of performance regardless of the Corvette you drive. The reason for this is as follows:

When compared to the JOC bars, all of the GM bars (C5/C6) have a much greater tendency towards over-steer. When you corner fast...the back wants to fly out like crazy! So regardless of your generation, the balance of the JOC bar will allow you to corner like you've never imagined.

Thanks for the support! I think you've touched on a very important point here: The GM settings are far too unpredictable for most drivers to fully harness the power of their vette! I see so many people "upgrade" to c6 z51/z06/zr1 bars thinking it will get them better handling...only to find the same unruly behavior. Then they try the JOC bars, and then they realize just how fast the Corvette can actually corner. Thanks again for the positive feedback

Let me start by saying I've read nothing but good things about this setup. That said, I've always felt my car has only ever oversteered when I've been too greedy with the throttle or flat done something wrong. I've always found my car predictable and easy to drive. I know I'm not superman, so would someone like me actually like the change in handling that the JOC package gives?

This makes me think of selling my front c6 Z51 sway, rear C6z sway and brand new, boxed up c6 z shocks for a deal so I can hop on board with this.

Thank you for the positive feedback! It sounds like you've been working on the driver mod! With any configuration, you will eventually find the limit of the car...the goal of adding suspension upgrades is to push that limit back so that you can drive faster. PM me and we can discuss your setup

While I didn't directly buy from pfadt, Manny @ DaSilva Motorsports did for me!

I can say from street & track driving that the package w/ urethane bushings really transforms the car. I've taken a few buddies in the car to show them, all couldn't believe how flat and neutral it handled.

Sweet behind shot:
