    Just a few days after I got the Bilsteins in the mail I left on a 2 week vacation so I haven't had a chance to install them yet. There are two auto-x in November so I'll get a chance to test them out then. I plan to install them tomorrow.

    Interesting to here that lowering the rear let you get some more negative camber. I still need to align my engine cradle so I can get more negative in the front. I'll probably adjust the spring bolts in the back as the rears really role over compared to the fronts.

    I do have the large hollow Sam Strano bar on front and it did get rid of a little bit of over steer but does sacrifice a lot of front end grip. You can still power over steer at will though.

    Hello, I've got a 2006 Z51 MN6 as well, and I autocross. I've put in a purchase to Randy for a set of DRM Bils that should arrive in a couple of days. After I get those in and run a few SoloII's to see where the balance is, I'll be looking at a front sway bar (probably one of Sam Strano's). From what I've read on this forum, sounds like we're basically taking parrallel paths in development here. I run Toyo R888's currently, with -2.3 camber up front and -1.2 in back and did have to lower the car a bit on the stock bolts (max in the back and not quite that much in the front) to acheive the alignment goals. I'm curious to hear how the Bils worked out for you, how it affected your under/oversteer, whether you've already put a front sway bar on, and if so what size etc...

    Best,
    Sidd
