Advice on Replacement Springs
I have a 2001 C5 convertible that I have removed the F45 shocks and replaced with Bilsteins. Also, the suspension has been lowered about 1 inch on the OEM bolts - no bushings have been cut.
My wife and I autocross the car about 4 or 5 times each year and take 3 or 4 road trips (about 3,000 miles each) annually so ride quality is important.
I have installed a set of OEM Z06 sway bars with the aluminum end links.
The car now has about 87,000 miles on it - we just finished a plant tour in BG, Kentucky and it was a blast!
I was looking at the VBP Extreme springs but was wondering what you autocrossers would advise.
Appreciate your time.

I would think that the "extreme" springs would be too harsh for a 3000 mile ride but I'm sure that VB&P could recommend a spring that is better than stock for auotcross w/o sacraficing too much in ride quality.
Good luck
