Default Pfadt featherlight coilovers what sway bars?

I just picked up a set of used Pfadt coilovers(new version) just wonder what sway bars some of you guys recommend.
This is going on my C6Z that see the track a few times a year along with a few auto crosses. I was thinking about the JOC bars but I’m open to suggestions. Thanks

Default sway bars

The JOC bars are designed to work with the Pfadt shocks, so should be a fairly well balanced setup.

A number of Spec Corvette drivers are selling their sway bars and coil-overs since Penske picked up sponsoring the series in 2020.

I would look for some of those guys selling sway bars.

I’ll keep an eye out for a used set. There currently on sale with bushings and end links for $589.
Thanks for the info.

Do you think there are better options than the JOC bars?

I personally like the T1 or G1 bars (same thing). I believe they are stiffer than the JOC bars.

I hope those coilovers work out for you....there is a reason people are getting rid of them.

i will take a look at those bars.

I’ve read mixed reviews about them. You either love them or hate them. Most of the issues I’ve read have been with the original design. These are the new design and less than a year old. Purchased for less than $600. I spoke with the guys at ANZE about the purchase and they confirmed they were a good deal and if they need work it would be $800 or less. They were shipped to them the same day I received them. I was going to buy the LG for around 2K but worse case I’ll have a perfect set of Pfadt for under $1400. Seem like an easy decision for me.
