WOW WOW WOW, a stealth project we didn't know about!!! Way to go guys. The red calipers really pop against the white body. VERY VERY NICE.
You'll love the Z06 sway bars. I changed mine a few months ago and the difference was verry SOTP noticeable. You might also consider changing the dinky oem tunnel plate to a reinforced insulated tunnel plate by Elite Engineering. It will add significantly to your sway kit and shock enhancements. Again, very nice result!!

Well I installed the F& R Z06 sway bars on the white car today. I am heading up to Lakeland on friday, that should give me a feel for the new suspension. Hope to make it on saturday.
