[QUOTE="not2melo, post: 12250, member: 90"] Well since upgrading my 99 Z51 shocks to the new 08 Z06 ones and feeling such a increase in handling I decided to go with a pair of new swaybars and bushing. Was looking at the C6 Z51 bars or the T1 bars, I think the C6 Z51 would be a mild improvement over the stock bars and I have heard the T1's are great if drive your car on the track all the time but you will feel the bump and the car will ride much harder. So I decided to go with something in the middle of the performance spectrum and add a set of Hotchkis bars and bushings along with a set of Z06 metal endlinks to firm things up a bit. I will let you know how it turns out after my buddy Manny gets everything installed here are some photos of the parts below.
