Body roll

Kinda thinking I would like to reduce the body roll, after driving one of the vettes the other day, the body roll on my car seems like about the same as our full size pickup. Im assuming I want new/bigger sway bars, and maybe a STB? Any recommendations.

STB on 4th gen's is near pointless. While it will help, its not going to make any difference unless you're autocrossing.

Subframe connectors, shocks, springs, etc. Are going to give you the biggest noticeable difference. Keep in mind a vette has a sporttuned suspension from factory.

hotchkins makes a very nice strut tower bar to stabalize the front end in turns, but it cost some $$ UMI sells all the stuff your looking for at reasonable prices.

Get some swaybars, they'll take care of it.

well if your on stock springs, i would suggest upgrading to some Eibach Pros and some bilsteins or some type of performance shock all around. or you can call up Sam Strano and he will set ya up with some springs and nice shocks. he is also the absoulte man to talk to when it comes to sway bars. he sells a hollow bar that is lighter than anything else and i beleive stronger as well. a 1LE/SS/WS6 rear bar will do great but youll need his front to plant those tires. also wheels and tires will help if your on those 16" 5 spokes. UMI is the place for subframe connectors. they are needed on any 4th gen regardless.heh

I agree with what everyone here said- Keep in mind though, that the more you upgrade your suspension, unless you do it correctly you are going to get a rougher ride as well. With a well set-up suspension your ride will be a little stiffer, but will handle like rails on the corners.
