Z06 suspension upgrade time!
It's time to start the upgrades!!
This isn't my daily driver, it's more a weekend canyon carver, so I can deal with extra stiffness, but I don't need the car to skip over bumps during a turn like it does now.
So I've decided to get Pfadt's new coilovers...

What do you guys think of Ecklers 35mm front and 25.4 mm rear sway bars set?. From reading about others sway bar set's(T1, Hotchkis, etc), these seems to be a fair price, and a good compromise between T1 and Z06.
But with the bigger bars will the car "push" too much for the speeds and roads I'll be running?
How will my car with current stock tires setup react?
What about when, or if, I go to a diffrent tire/wheel setup... say a 18' 10.5 Z06 rim in front?

Since I'm there, I figured I'll be getting this (I think these are VBP's) polygraphite bushing set.

Will I need adjustable swaybar end links? or a bump steer kit? I'll lower the car with the coilovers, but I'm not sure how much. Alignment specs suggestions are always welcome. Wheels and tires will be next once my wallet recovers, also becuase I can't decide what to get yet.
