DRM Bilstein GB v6.0 (C5, C6 and C6z) Track, Auto-x and dual purpose cars

My racecar is a 3100 lb C5 with stock leafsprings and pfadt's old inverted shocks. Since a rebuild is unlikely or impossible on those, would these be a good fit. I'm thinking yes since I really like how the pfadts work now. Think this shock would be too stiff?

I purchased my DRM Bilsteins last year and have put them to the test...I'm extremely happy with the purchase and how the car handles. I'm glad I passed on the coil over route as most of my money now goes towards brakes, rotors and more track days. GREAT VALUE and GREAT PRODUCT!!

What is the maximum leaf spring rates recommended for use with these shocks on an 01Z? I'm looking at going with higher-than-stock VBP springs, but I'm not sure what is compatible with these shocks.
Would these work with T1 springs?

But I already ordered these anyway, since I figure I can have the fronts revalved worst case and it's still a good deal.
I received a confirmation email from Paypal but not from DRM.

I'm getting caught up on the confirmation emails today. You are in!!!
Front spring, we didn't do any testing on stiffer front springs. They have some additional rebound dialed in, so they are going to better then anything else (stock stuff, bilstein stuff).
With that being said, I would love some additional feedback.

Was compression damping fooled around with at all?

Randy,
Yeah, I had a set on my old C6 Z06 and they were great, I just didn't know if they would have the same impact on the C5 Z06 since it weighs less and has a different shock height and I am sure has slight different characteristics as far as where the best valving would be.

The fronts are done, built and waiting for pick up. The rears have a scheduled date of July 16th. I heard that date a couple weeks ago and trying to get a firm confirmation that they will be ready by then.
Bushings and boxes are ready to go here.
I will know more on Monday!!!
