Lets back this up.
What tires front and back, and what sizes.
Is this for,
Slower Autocross parking lot racing,
Daily driving on the roads,
High speed race course work?
Slow speed in a smooth parking lot, you can pan the car and get away with it.
High speed, you get the suspension too firm, and not enough tire, and you will be all over the track.
DD, you pan the car, or get it too firm, and you will not be happy as you bend rims twice a week on even small pot holes (much less having to drive around with a hemorrhoid pillow under your butt so you don't frag your back on the slightest of bumps in the road).

don't woory just ignore the engineers that designed and built the car, just like the forum engneers do, go out right now and buy everything that you can find thats not intended for your car, and let us know whart doesn't work, OK? What part of what those of us who have TOLD you, that is you should install Z51 sways and Bilstein shocks, and YOU WILL BE AMAZED!!!!! didn't you like? and then if you would like a little more you can change ONE spring as the base already has ONE spring in common with the Z51. THE Z06 HAS MANY MORE PARTS THAT ARE DIFFERENT THEN JUST TIRE SIZE THAT MAKES IT'S TOTAL OF PARTS WORK WELL TOGETHER!!! THE PEOPLE WHO BUILT THE CAR KNOW HOW IT WORKS TOGETHER! LISTEN TO THEM. you will save alot of wasted $

Your still at the FE3 front spring swap from the base front spring,
Z-51 sway bars upgraded from the base sways,
and Bilstein Sports or Koni FSD shocks the best set up/balance system for what you are going to use the car for.
