The Bilstein sport shocks will make a difference. Have you thought about the GM T1 sway bars with the polly bushings?

Here is a copy of our sway bar comparison chart. It's got all of the OE bars listed, as well as the relative rates of our bars. It may help make your sway bar decision easier, all of those bar packages install pretty seamlessly onto all C5/C6 chassis.
