Default Rear spring

Has anyone switched the z06 rear spring to a z51 car's rear spring to make it a little softer and to give the back more grip? A couple car mag articles in the past mentioned that the z51 spring in the back might be better

Have not heard of anybody doing this. However, Installing a larger FRONT sway bar is fairly common in the Super Stock class in Autocross and will do the same if you are looking for better rear grip handling wise.
