sway bar --how big??
I have a 2000 vette with Hyperco racing springs, C6Z06 shocks
and sway bars. I run 275 front and 325 rear tires.
The rear sway bar is 28mm, and I want to run a bigger front
sway bar..
Is a GM T1 sway bar to much?? Should I run a smaller sway bar
say a 35mm. I talked to one guy that thought the 37mm bar
was too much????
What do the experts say....a 37mm or a 35mm??????????????

Your question is very vague sir.
Do you daily this car? autocross or some HPDE every now and then? NASA time trial?
the tyres you referred to, are they street tires?
You mentioned you already stock C6z front and rear, so if u still want a bit more front roll stiffness, Addco 1-3/8 (35mm) probably will satisfy your need. Heck, even Addco 1.25" SOLID front bar will be an increase compare to C6z front and it's only $185 thru one of our vendor.
But truthfully, until we understand your need, it's impossible to provide suggestion.
And to answer your question, GM T1 is too much for almost everybody unless u have a very smooth track, and probably with some aero.

obvious.
Vette is only driven to events. Like slow/fast autocross, 1/4 mile
racing,some high speed events.
Aero---APR front splitter, diffuser,right now low rear spoiler(may
change to wing). 14 in rotors 6/4 calipers all by Wilwood.
And I run a built motor with headers and a blower, with a racing
tranny. There is a lot more but I think you get the idea.
Thanks for your suggestions
So--are you saying with aero which I have (downforce) the
T1 would work or would not????

It just depends on the balance your looking for. A bigger front would usually cause more understeer. If you don't have that, then a bigger front would help in many ways. 35mm is a nice size.

The vendor I talked to felt the same way.

I have a full time C5 Z06 track car and recently switched to a T1 front sway. I also have coilovers and the car if very balanced now. I tried the T1 rear but went back to the stock Z06 rear since it was too stiff for my liking. You can find used T1 bars for $200.
