Z06 springs, sway bars, and billstein shocks. These are the ones I took off the "Gentlemans Cruiser" of Kevins when we did his coilovers a couple weeks ago.
HUGE difference in handling. I had a Z06 spec alignment done today and man does she turn in fast!

That is a great upgrade, if you do not do coilovers, I had the same setup on my coupe before the upgrade

Be careful what you ask for. There is always space for another body on Kevin's pit crew; dress warm. I've learned a lot working on Kevin's car.
Keep an eye out in the SouthEast section, a group of us meet up between Woodbridge or Herndon for dinner every now and again.


Sneaks: How do you like those Bilsteins? I'm considering a new setup and Bilsteins are number 1 on my list, followed by Pfadt inverted shocks (from Chip). I finally got my C6 Z51 bars on this past week and I still need to turn the bolts and try to relieve this 4x4 look.

Hey I love working on cars. I just have a very limited set of tools and space. Used to work on all my own stuff when I lived close to my parents because my Dad has a ton of tools and my uncle has two hydralic lifts in his front yard garage/shop.

I've been 500+ miles away for the last couple of years and slowly acquiring tools. A couple of knowledgeable buddies and tools for me to learn with would be more than helpful! I can supply the beverages!

Coilovers are what you need Phil.

I don't know Sean. Not really feeling that big of a difference with the shocks. But the springs and sways really tighten up the suspension. Corners hard now. Not as hard as Kevins setup, but a vast improvement over coupe stock.
