Default C6 Z06 suspension upgrade ?
i have a new to me Z06 (2009) and I am looking at changing sway bars. Anyone prefer Hotchkis over Eibach? If so, why?

Vansteel for the front and stock for the rear (autocross and road course work)

What are your plans for car? Street, drag, autocross, road course track? All have different optimum setups?
Coilovers and spring rate? What tires, the stickier the more bar? Where do you live, streetable on Florida is not so much in many northern states or California?

LG, T1, Vansteel or softer than stock, it all depends on what you are willing to deal with. No matter what LG quiet links are a must with stiff bars.
