I have 2014 Z 51 that I track regularly. I was thinking about Phadt completion sway bars instead of the stock Z51. All things being equal will this add- on allow the car to be more aggressive in turns? I'm new to corvettes and have been racing Porsche"s in the past so your thoughts are well appreciated.

Yes, the Pfadt bars are quite a bit more aggressive than Z51 bars.

 

In order to answer that you would have to state if you have the Mag Ride Z51 (FE4) or the Non Mag Ride Z51 (FE3). While they both use the same front sway bar, the Mag Ride rear bar is significantly larger and much more suited for track or autocross use.

I've just changed my rear bar from the FE3 to the FE4 and the car is far more neutral in the corners. In terms of stiffness the difference between the two bars are over 30 percent. In diameter, it is 26mm vs. 31 mm. In case you have the FE3 now but, want to upgrade to the FE4, it is only $71 from GM Parts Direct + a few dollars for the two bushings.
