LG vs GM sways?
I'd like advice on choosing sways for a 2012 ZO6 that is primarily a track car.
LG G1 vs GM T1
I am in on the ongoing DRM Bilstein buy.
The car is lowered, has a camber kit and brake cooling ducts.
275/35 18 front 888's
335/30 18 rears
The dimensional differences are small between these two products but they are different.
LG G1 front is fixed and 1 9/16 (very slightly bigger)
GM T1 front is fixed and 1 8/16
LG rear has three holes and is 1 1/16
GM rear I can't tell if it has holes and it is 1 3/16 (slightly bigger)
They both come with links and bushings, presumably poly for both.
They do have slightly different shapes.
Thanks

What's wrong with your current sway bars? Are you trying to fix a handling problem? Sway bars are very personal...what works for you may be different than others.
T1 bars are fast at some tracks but not at others. It is all interdependent on shocks, spring rates, etc. If you have stiff springs you may want soft bars, and vice versa.
Personally, I'd keep what you have unless you are chasing a specific characteristic.

I do have 295 fronts. Was looking at my stock rubber back on for the winter.
I am assuming stiffer sways will help overall with the cars stability into and out of corners.
Obviously the DRM shocks will be a huge improvement with the cars twitchiness but sways have to help to.
I'm guessing there is little difference between the LG and GM sways or I'd have heard otherwise, links, bushing issues, strength, etc.
I don't hear a lot on here about solid toe links either. On my previous car they alone made the biggest handling improvement to dial out rear camber changes mid corner under power.

I think the LG bars would work pretty well with the DRMs as those shocks aren't very stiff and have good travel. I have tracked a Z with the LG bars and they are Viagra stiff...
I personally prefer not a lot of bar, but stronger springs and shock dampening to make it work.
