Recommendations for Best Setup for C6 for Autocross
I originally posted a thread in the C6 Performance sub-forum,
but I also would appreciate some input from you guys here too.

Kinda looking for the same info, but for a C6 Z06 too.
Primarily shocks (allowing me to stay in the Super Stock class) and front sway bar.
TIA

Hey craig......
What size tires do you run front and rear ?
PS---you could always run a 18x11 in the front, and a 18x13 in the rear-----315/335
.......and join me in ASP

Call Aaron @ Pfadt and he'll hook you up - Tell him you want the same parts that are on my car (inverted sport shocks and street sway bar w/pillowblocks). For the price, there is no better combo (maybe none better regardless of how much $$ you spend). With the C6Z in SS you're stuck with the 19" rear wheels, but you have plenty of width options, 315/30/19, 325/30/19 and 345/30/19, the 325/345 tires are probably better suited for the car in terms of power delivery.

No... not this year... I don't have my C5 anymore......
sold it out from under me 2 weeks ago... went really quick.... 1 day.
And I have just purchased a 2007 Triple Black convertible, but it has to get shipped/exported/imported yet... that'll probably take a couple of weeks yet.
This is why I am asking questions about the "preparation" for a C6.
I'll send you a PM.

I'm not ready to run ASP yet. You know that. Your car is to dialed in for me right now. I'm hoping with some shocks and a sway bar, I can get a little closer.
