Suspension Questions
Hows' it going guys!
I have been reading about Hotchkis/Bilstein combo and was curious if that is a good set-up to go with for Auto-X or Road Courses. I was thinking about the Z06 suspension but how does it compare to some other top brand suspensions (please name)? If you can also please give the pricing on them.
This is for a 1999 Coupe. Thanks alot!

As to my set up, as mentioned it is Hotchkis sway bars and Bilstein shocks on a Z51, with SS brake lines and brake bias spring to help neutralize the car on Kumho Ecsta MX tires with .5 degrees of negative camber. I prefer less weight transfer and try to keep the car flat or have a little more oversteer with the tail of the car. Basically I'm very happy with this set up.
You might check out the Forum's Autocross/Road Course section as there are some extremely knowledgeable folks over there who can give you finite answers to your questions.
Good luck
