bmr - best bar for the dollar.

stoptech brakes kit (slotted rotors) - slots are for looks only.........
 
If this 99 is a base coupe and you are not a road racer or an autocrosser, the best bang for the buck is a set of stock stabilizer bars off a Z51.

You'll get a fair reduction in body roll with not significant decrease in ride quality.
 
i'm often autocrossing in monza just for fun (monza autodrome is for free circulation more or less once a month.last week we have had a speed day for american and japanese cars only!!!)
thanks and regards

I have installed Z06 bars on my car and love them. The front bar is even bigger than the Z51 bar. The rear bars are the same size in both applications. The Z06 bars also have the advantage of being original GM parts.

I think the rear bars are of different diameters too (Z51 vs Z06). My '99 FRC's bars were both different (before I changed them :D). It may vary though depending on year.

Is there a data sheet available that lists the sway bar sizes and spring rates for all
models and years of C5. I'm curious as to the spring rates and bars for ZO6 vs Z51.
Anyone have any shock valving data for these models??
Thanks
