Some suspension questions.

I have an 01 Corvette coupe with bolt on some brake upgrades. ( SS lines, better pads, rotors and some SS pistons.

I've also added a set of c6z06 sway bars.. I'm torn between adding C6z06 shocks, or going with coil overs.

to get full benefit of the shocks,/sway bars i will need to upgrade leaf springs But unlike the other parts i can't really find any good refrence on the strength of leaf springs.

what do you guys thing. spring/shock upgrade or Coil overs? it looks to be about twice the price for coil overs but I've heard great things about a couple of the brands ( PFADT &LG)

Thanks!

Have ZO6 sway bars on my 2000 coupe and put PFADTS on 3 yrs. ago. Autocross the car and love the coilovers.
Worth the $$.

If you are lowering the car more than 3/4" then just go for coil-overs. Forget about springs/shocks because you will be bottoming out and the ride will be crap.
