Shocks, Springs and Sway bars. Oh my!
I'm getting close to the end of my phase 1 powertrain modifications. I plan to attend 2 or 3 open track events next year so I'm starting to look at suspension modifications.
I'm looking at T1, Hotchkis and BMR sway bars. What shocks and springs are best for each of these?
I'm getting Nitto 555's in stock sizes put on tomorrow so I'll finally be rid of the runflats. I'm thinking about staying with these tires for a at least a year, possibly longer since I'm considering getting a set of magnesium wheels.

GM makes 4 different sets of springs Std, Z51, Z06, T1. Vette Brakes and Performance makes their own custom monoleafs and can do just about any spring rate you want.

I agree, everything should be matched. Thats why I started this thread.
Right now I'm thinking about T1 bars, Koni adjustables and VB+P 850lb front spring. I'm not sure about the rear spring yet.
