C5 suspension setup
My car is used about 80% track (HPDE) and 20% street. The current set up is C5 F45 springs, C6 Z shocks, C5 sways.
Due to some deals and parts laying around I'm thinking about going with a VBP sport front spring, C5 Z rear spring, C6 Z shocks and T1 sway bars. What are thoughts on this set up?
I know the ideal thing would be a complete matched setup from one place but I just wanted to get thoughts on if the above would be a good set up or any combination of the above parts.
Thanks!

Sell off your springs and buy my Pfadt gen 1 coil overs. I loved them on the track. For us non pros, the one dial, 16 point adjustment made it easy to dial in.
$1100 including the Delrin top bushings. I'll even ship them for free.

VBP makes great springs, and the T1 bars are also a good easy choice. However, Coilovers have gotten pretty affordable, and ultimately offer more adjustability.
I wish you were closer, having someone familiar with your car, and scales, really makes things go smoother.

Coil overs would be ideal but just trying some things with parts I have around. I've read that with thick sways a softer spring would be better. Or with softer springs a thick sway bar. Any truth to this?
