Re: Sway bars (SpinMonster)
I just recv'd my set. I've heard the progression of performance goes z06<hotchkis<bmr<t1. but honestly I have no clue, that's just what I've heard. I'm looking forward to finding out though!

Re: Sway bars (SHOWTIME!)
I got the front shocks (bilstein sports) and sway installed, didn't have time to do the rears. noticed a subtle improvement, a little tighter feeling. will completing the rear end make a huge difference? should I also upgrade the springs?

Even though the BMR and hotchkis bars are the same diameter, the BMR have slightly shorter "Arms" which result in a stiffer torsional rate.
IMHO the T-1 bars are too stiff for comfortable street use, but work very well on the track.
We are developing a set of adjustable bars for the C5 that when set on full soft would result in Z06 torsional rate and on full stiff would approach T-1 rating.
