Also what year Z51? '00 - '04 the rear Z51 and Z06 were the same. Also, search a little here; someone was saying that the stiffness was not liner in relation to the diameter. Meaning a couple of mm more in diameter is a large difference in stiffness.
I just bought some Hotchkiss
, but I'm still in the process of installing (doing some other things as well 
) so I can't say how the perform. But, just by looks they are huge compared to the base bars.
Check out this link for info:

I have the T1 bars and they are great. The end links suck but other than that I would go with T1. The Z06 is just not going to be a big difference and you stand a chance of being disappointed and out some money. You can usually find a set of used T1 bars here on the forum or on Ebay.

Not to hijack your thread Mike, but I also have an 00 and am probably never gonna track; but driving at 130-160 MPH daily on the Autobahn - I was tossing around Hotchkiss vs Z06 and still cannot decide. I have F45 and love the shock adjustment.
Would love to hear any comment.

How is the balance of your car right now. Your Z-51 rear is the same as a Z06. If you put on a Z06 front you will pick up understeer. If that's what you need then great. T-1 does not work for autocross. Hotchkis is stiffer then what you have, but then again you might get more understeer then you have right now.
For me I went with Z06 front and Hotchkis rear.
Goodluck in your choice.

Blue is T1 (38.4mm) and black is 03 Z51 ( 28.4 mm)
for the street rocks would be softer and more compliant then the T1 bars.
The full 04 ZO6 suppension may work better. rember suppension work a s a full system not piece meal.
