I have a bone stock 01 Z28 that is my DD. It is driven quite a bit on twisty roads, and will only be taken to the drag strip occasionally. im trying to figure out what the best handling mods for this car are. if someone could point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.

I would start with a good set of tires and a fresh set of brakes. If you can afford it and want to, upsize the rotors. Next I would look into some bigger sway bars or bilstein shocks.

I would add subframe connectors to the mix as early as possible. A good set though, not any cheap ones. This will allow the suspension to do its job a lot more efficiently due to having a more solid base.

I just did my brakes, better rotors/pads.

I wouldn't bother with sway bars until the main problem is fixed, the stock shocks.

See above. Shocks>>>>>>>swayabrs>springs>>>>>>>>SFCs.
Ive been in a few different cars with SFC's, the only difference I could tell was impact harshness was increased (made more noise as well).
Chassis didn't feel any stiffer than stock.

In my opinion a good set of shocks would be the best place to start. If you're still riding on stock shocks this would have to be the biggest single improvement I think.

shocks and springs at the same time...strano and konis...cant go wrong with that. Then you can go and build up on that with with an adjustable panhard bar, LCAs and relocation brackets, sway bars, polyurethane bushing kit, SFCs....good luck man.

Shocks first. Not much sense in building your house on a foundation that's crap.... They are the single..... biggest....... issue.......... period.

And because they are so critical to how the car works, it's best not to try and go cheap here. Even if it means you reassign other money to better shocks, the result is worth it.

In a big way. I put 'em on due to wrinkling in the right quarter panel and was "shocked" at the increase in harshness. My advice is to skip 'em. Like everybody is saying ... SHOCKS.

for reference, the first suspension mod ill be doing is installing my strano springs and koni shocks. after that, ill continue with PHB LCA's and lastly the SFC.

I thought the 1st best mod was supposed to be the stb?
