Suspension Upgrade Question
As allways any input is greatly appreciated.
I have a 04 vert. w/mag,select,ride,cont. I am thinking about just upgrading to the Z06 front and rear sway bars.
will this stiffen the ride other than cornering? I would just like the vehicle to be a little flatter in the corners but I don't want to harshen the ride when cruising around town or on the highway.

Z06 sways will significantly improve the cornering, with little to no difference in ride comfort, and you will be very impressed with the improvement. Springs and shocks most directly effect the ride comfort. I would also go with the 04 Z06 shocks and replace the runflat tires with Kumho ASX, or any other Hi/max performance tire. EMTs really harshen the ride, so replacing them will negate most of the ride stiffness introduced by the Z06 shocks. 
Check the Parts for sale section,but do it often as sways and shocks seem to sell the same day

thanks C5COM,I will be ordering the bars tomorrow from Fred Beans,they have an awesome deal on front and rears w/ the bushings,I agree whole heartedly about the run flats,that will be next,I'm actually pretty happy with the msrc suspension so I think the sway bars will be just the ticket
