C5 Suspension upgrade question
I have a ‘99 coupe with engine mods and I believe a 19 year old Z51 suspension package. 60k mileage. Recently did fender flares with 345’s. Lowered max on stock bolts. Getting a little drift in the rear and looking to tighten up the suspension . . . but can’t afford coil overs. Been reading different posts (I really enjoy reading this forum) and wondering if anyone has had a good experience with specific leaf spring, sway bar, shock packages with the 345 tires? Just want to tighten up the feel without getting divorced (my last project has me close).
Any advice from anyone that’s been down this street would be most welcomed.
