The great thing about these cars is that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Chevy made a great starting point. Most of the improvements we make to our customers’ cars are intended to get the car behaving in a c…
I'm using Strano's 1-5/16" front bar and some Konis I got from him on my C6 Z06. After that, tires and alignment and you're good to go for AS autocrossing.

Nice! Yeah, Sam definitely knows his stuff.
A bunch of guys have gone to the Penskes for AS, but I'm just feeling my way through it at this point. Maybe one day I'll be going, "Boy these Konis sure are limiting my driving!" but that day has not yet arrived.
You do have to remove a lot of shims to dial in the camber you want up front though. I have a drawer full. Once you do that though, -3 degrees is easy to get.
How did you mount your Konis on your C6? My Koni Shocks came with no top bushings for the front shocks and I couldn't get stock bushings separately... Also the sperical mount kit I tried only engaged a couple threads on the top studs which I didn't want to trust going over the curbing at the bus stop at Watkins Glen.
In reply to ShiftLess :
Do you have a z06? I understand the upper mount up front is different on them.
when I got my motons, I, too, had no upper mount so I cut up my old shocks and made a mount out of the washers and bushings. It worked quite well.
In reply to Harvey :
Do you have stock a-arm eccentric bolts or one of the hex kits? (To adjust camber)
