Sway bar info
I have been pouring over the old posts and researching in the different stock sway bar setups and I think I have an idea as to a good setup.
30mm solid front
26mm solid rear
I figure the Z07 package cars have the 30mm front
and the ZR-1 and Grand Sport cars have the 26mm rear
I have 295 rear tires so I think the rear bar is good and I think a 30mm is a safe bet for the front.
Any thoughts on this? I'm really looking to tighten up the car and take out body roll I am looking for neutral handling with maybe just a touch of oversteer.
Thanks

I asked about this setup a while back because like you I'm tired of the sway that the stock sway bars allowed. The general consensus was that the 30mm front and 26mm rear were a good chice. Like you I'm using Z06 wheels with a 295 tire out back. I'll be upgrading my bars in the spring.

Do you need to upgrade your suspension springs with this?
What was the Z07 stock rear bar?
I upgraded to 30mm in front, but did nothing else other than c4 beam plates. Less oversteer I think, and rear does not go out all at once.
