Default LCRs or Sway Bars???

I’m ready to upgrade my Z28 some more. I have upgraded to the following (all other suspension is stock):

G2 springs
Aluminum double spherical panhard rod
Strut Tower Brace
LCR relocation brackets
SLP subframes

I was looking at either doing double spherical LCRs or a set of sway bars. I don't auto cross the car but I just like to get out in the evening and run the back roads quick. I don’t mind a stiff/harsh ride at all (actually like it).

Thanks

Chris

You might try just a 35mm front and leave the rear stock. I've got that and the G.West LCAs, I could tell a world of difference with the 35mm front. Didn't notice alot of difference with the LCAs. Don't get me wrong, there was a difference but not like putting on the front bar. Also, I know you are thinking that the 35mm front with the stock rear would understeer bad. Not really, it has a smidge in high speed stuff but that is most likely due to my driving. Works great in the low and mid-speed corners. I am going to try a 21 mm rear just for kicks though.

I don't auto-x, but I was very happy with my SLP 1LE front and rear antisway bars and they were at the right price. I think the antisway bars help more the the LCA's do for handling. SLP has a decent set of reinforced LCA's for ~ $100, I think the antisway bars were like ~$140 about $70 each.
