Default AFE Pfadt racing swaybar overkill?

Hey guys I have a 06 Base non Z51 and I'm slowly upgrading stuff. Bought Z51 swaybars so far. Then i found Z51 brackets for the brakes on FB marketplace and the guy who i bought it from offered me the afe Pradt racing swaybars as well. My impulse buy habit got the better of me and i bought those as well...

But now after doing more research on the matter. Are those sways overkill? Will i get away using them bc of their adjustability or would I be better off selling them?
As far as me using the Vette , a few times a month and i do track it (HPDE) but the car is mostly stock

If you do use the Pfadt sway bars, I'd take that front Z51 bar off your hands.

I'd love to use them but they're substantially bigger so I'm worried that I'll mess up the handling instead of improving it

Keep/Install the OE Z51 Sways.
Sell the Race bars.

Buy Bilsteins after selling the race bars.

I'd avoid any of the Pfadt multi-piece bars.
