Default T1 Bars Question

I have Koni FSD shocks with Polly bushings on my C5 Z ... any thoughts on just adding T1 bars to this combo ? Or do you need the whole T1 package to be balanced?

You can do just the bars. I like them a lot on mine.

froggy do you find the rear bar to be too stiff, does it make the car oversteer on anything less than r-comps?

It's very neutral IMO set on the "longest" hole for rear (soft setting).

R comp or street tires.

Nothing wrong with adding the bars. Most of us PTA/TTA guys run OEM Z06 springs, 2004 Z06 shocks and T1 bars. I have the rear bar on the softest setting and the front bar slightly shimmed to make it a smidge softer. The car is neutral overall and easy to trail-brake and induce throttle oversteer.
