Default New mods (Pic)
Just finished installing the last of my winter accumulation of mod material.

Bilstein sport shocks, Z06 sway bars, and metal end links. Bars were easy. Shocks were a little tough.

After a short test drive I can say it has clearly tightened up the handling. Quick turns left and right (you know...that stupid stuff you did as a kid) had the handling feeling like a go-cart. I'm very pleased with it.
Thanks for the nice comments.
