Can I ask what you upgraded to and if you're happy with the change? 90% of my time in the z06 is on track and even with stiffer springs its still has too much body roll when pushing hard.

I first switched to Z51 sway bars, and then switched to Eibach rear sway bars, but I'm still working on the setup (i.e. tuning the suspension settings with my aftermarket coilovers).

Thanks - a few other questions if you don't mind humoring me .
- What type of coil overs did you go with?
- Are you seeing enough change that you feel that the investment has been worth it on the coilovers?
- I've seen some opinions that with coilovers you don't need to upgrade sway bars, that flawed thinking in your opinion?

I'm using 4 way JRI coilovers from UpSpeed performance, designed for Z06. I previously tried MCS coilovers designed for Z51, ans despite having same suspension geometry, they did not work well. 4 way coilovers allow changing low speed compression and rebound to tame in the rear. I'm still working on fine tuning the settings, though, which is why I'm experimenting with different sway bars as well.
Sway bars let you keep the coilover settings softer for better corner exit acceleration, while still having strong lateral support in corners, so it's very useful for a platform with a very tall DOHC engine slapped in the rear in my opinion.
