to stiff? just right? big difference over Z06 bars?

Also, have any trouble with stock metal end links with them?

 

I love them, but then again I have an almost dedicated track car and coilovers.

For general street use I would say they are a bit overkill, but then again if you want less roll they are the way to go.

what tires are you using because that will come into play too. I think the t1s are too much for stock tires and you will not benefit from the t1s with stock tires.

BTW - I use adjustable endlinks which are much stronger than the oem metal endlinks

 

I run stock Z rims with 265/295 Toyo T1R's

 

You will love them but the adj. links are noisy. i use my stock zo6 end links . but i drive my zo6 on the street a lot .

 

i use them on my street car also... with stock metal links. very noisey. Other than the noise, i love em.

 

what is noisey? the bushings or endlinks?

 

the end links are the problem Bob

 

If you don't track use OEM links and eliminate the noise.

 

i have noises from the OEM links.




(disregard the scorpian remark at the top.... i screwed up)

 

Metal end links Noisy? not mine. Oh wait.


I have straight pipes, so I may not hear the end links
T1 Blue. '03 ZO6 / Z51 fronts black

 

If they are set up correctly they aren't noisey.

 

I know you asked specifically about the T-1 bars, and I was just about to pull the trigger on them, rattles and all, until I saw last Month's Vette Magazine. They had an on-car review of the Pfadt anti-sway bars.

I also checked them on the forums and their reputation was extremely high. After a long talk with Aaron the owner, I knew these were folks i wanted to do business with.

I ordered a set, popped them on, and WOW....they are true artwork for your undercarriage-simply beautiful design. they have a spline mechanism that is fully adjustable for street or track use-with absolutely no slippage that I could detect. On the street, at the easiest setting, they are slightly stiffer than the stock Z06 bars, but not bone jarring-and quiet as a church mouse.

I set them on the next to highest stiff setting for a recent track event at Mid-Ohio, and oh man, my Z06 is just dead neutral through turns. I picked up 3 seconds in time consistently from my last trip to Mid-Ohio 3 weeks ago. the only change was the anti-sway bars. air temperature was very similar during both sessions. same tires...

I notice the difference particularly in off camber turns as well as S type curves where the chassis has to turn hard left then right. with the new bars, I don't have to pause to settle the chassis before turning the opposite direction. Now I can just flick the car through the twisties and it stays planted with just the slightest hint of understeer-perfect....
