What spring rates are you using?
On your coilover setup, what spring rates are you running? Which tracks do you usually run on? Do you change your rates when changing the track?

Your going to get responses across the board here. Some common combos:
425/575
475/575
500/650
650/600
750/650
I'm running 475/575 with DRM Bilstein coilovers. I drive the car on the street as well as at the track and I'm really pleased with it. There's definitely a lot more rate than stock (C6 Z51) but it's not too much for the street (for me) -- even with Pfadt's original comp bars. As much as we all say changing springs is easier and cheaper with coilovers I don't think you'll find anybody but the pros actually bothering to do it.
All the configurations can let you be fast, as they all have people using them and winning. The rates need to be handled by the shock valving so you had better work with the package vendor...
