My experience on springs/shocks - Our first steps on ours (street and autocross) (after alignment) was to reduce rear bar to get some of the oversteer tamed. That and the quick rack, but we found we had to go to a Turn One "stock replacement" pump to get that settled out.

It was just too soft. Next step was a VB&P sport front with their matching Bilsteins, and (don't listen to them about the rear) a Hypercoil replacement 88 z51 spring with again matching Bilsteins. This worked, was good on the street and about a match for a c5 z06 as far as ride and weight transfer/turn-in etc.

My new setup (autocross only) is a 1250lb front/500lb rear with Penskes, still working on dialing that in. If it works out I'll probably be looking to sell the setup above.

HTH,
