Same here. 
If you install a C5 Z06 rear spring, you'll love it even more.

I take it your car has the 25mm front / 21.7mm rear bars?
I've read the early bars are as above and the later Z51's had 28.6mm front / 23.6mm rear. I'd like to see that confirmed though.
The C5Z06 bars are 30mm front / 23.6mm rear. If you're swapping the later bars then there won't be much difference. The car will likely tend to under steer in either case hence the recommendation to change to the C5Z06 rear spring which balances it out again. Front spring Z06 or Z51 is the same.
At least that's the info I've found on bar sizes.

So far the car feels like it's on rails.
Going from fatigued Z51 to new Z06 is like night and day.
When I come back from autocrossing today, I'll be able to tell you some more....
