Need help keeping up with C6 Z06 & Porsche GT3 on Road Course

Thanks for the help! I'll research the adjustable strut rods and look into what I need to do for the C body tie rods. I have to run manual steering to fit the hemi, and eventually I'll look to a faster ratio box.

COG drop- how low do I want to go? I don't even know what "stock" height is, but I do have it high enough that the bump stops are still in. I've seen a number of guys with no bump stops and maybe a 1/2" before hitting where the bumpstop was. That okay?

Driving it 1/2" from the rail may be okay on the 'course (I really don't know), but taking grandma to the olive garden would be a nightmare.

I broke the bumpstop completely off and the first time that b-word hit I almost barfed. I thought the worst. It was a hell of a ride back to the shop to inspect what was going on... So if you're thinking it's gonna be a 90% street car, you might not dig it. Super stiff torsion bars be damned, a 1/2" travel can and will happen driving around in traffic.

On another note, I purchased a set of 1.03" bars knowing full well that lowering the car (as far as I freely could) the traditional way would be limited with that stiff of bars vs. the 318 bars that I could drop and stink-bug the car however I chose (this will limit your achievement of ideal COG obviously). You can get it pretty low with your 1.04" bars though still; watch those big 18's up front.

For the rear, with what you want to do, definitely replace your leafs w/ hotchkis geom. corrected and use the RCD Bilstein shocks (QA1 Adj. are friggin expensive).

Haters will hate. I say give this idea hell.
