C6 soft build suspension
Love the base weight but needing to update suspension before engine stuff. First is suspension and bushings. I've got the corvette shimmy under certain bumps and such. Tires new, balance good, alignment good. I want poly. Sway bar bushings are the problem..I like energy suspension but don't think theirs are the right size. What should I go with.

As for a softer ride, I wouldn't recommend polyurethane. They're going to be much stiffer. For a softer ride I would go OE rubber.
I am curious as to what you mean by "the Corvette shimmy". I own a few and have owned several Corvettes and I am unfamiliar with it.

I went with Prothane. I've used Energy Suspension in the past with good results, but I've been happier with the Prothane. Use plenty of the super grease to avoid issues.
