Default GM's T1 race suspension kit: Shocks and sway bars/bushings!

These parts are not individually available (only sold as kit).
- Stabilizer bars (40% stiffer front And 20% stiffer rear; allows wider front tires) with T1-specific bushings.
- Track-Optimized Passive Shocks (cheap!; front 22873513, rear 22873509).

Only used for about 1500 miles. I am switching to a full LG suspension, so these will have to go. Asking only $1100 shipped (The best price for the whole kit, which also includes LCAs is about $2900 shipped).


These shocks come with the T1 kit.


Front sway bar is T1-specific. Rear sway bar is same as Z06 rear sway, but with T1-specific bushings. (Springs are not included, but on sale separately).

I am looking to upgrade my z51 magnetic ride suspension for track use with slicks. I don't want to just piece together different parts without having a proven track setup. I have the Katech LT1 427 engine with 701hp and have added zo6 six piston brakes for stopping. What rims and tires were you running with this setup and what is the advantage or reason for going to a full LG suspension?

These are tuned by GM to work well with the stock springs. When I increased my front tires to 315s, the front springs were no longer enough. Since there's not much choice in terms of OEM front springs available, I had to convert the whole system to coilovers. FYI, they worked excellent with very sticky NT01s at 275 front, and 305 rear.
