Default Suspension Setup Need Help!!!

I have a 2001, and I have HRE 547 3-Piece. 19X9 and 20X10. I am looking for a suspension setup. What I am looking to do is lower 2" all the way around first. I also want to add sway bars and maybe a coilover setup or something. Any you techies out there can help me with coming up with a setup. Please, I would appreciate it. I'd like to get the opinions of anyone who has a setup. I am looking for the best I can find. Thanks Again guys...this forum has been the best thing for my vette so far.

Thanks Rich

You will not be able to get the front down 2" without some cutting at minimum. To drop the rear 2" you will need some longer lowering bolts. Several vendors sell them here. Or just go pick some up at home depot. As for suspension what type do you have now? Z51, etc.? If you have a Z51 I would go with Hotckis sway bars. I am not sure if a Z06 bar will give you much more of a difference compared to a Z51 bar. Of course a coilover setup would be the ultimate...
