I'm new to the message board and just wanted to say hi and post a couple pics. I have an 09 SS/TC with a K&N intake, Opel injectors, ZZP downpipe and exhaust, GM Stage 1 sensors, and a ZZP tune.
I haven't dyno'd it yet, but hopefully next year. Next couple mods are just fixing some dents, and resurfacing and repainting the wheels. Then over the summer I'm going to lower it, and do front and rear sway bars. And next winter I'm hoping to do the ZZP turbo upgrade.
Messing with the front sway bar on an LNF is kind of a waste of time. Just do the PRS rear and call it a day - and that's only if you want more rotation out of the car at the track/autocross. The car is more than capable in stock form for a "curvy road enthusiast". In stock form, the suspension setup on an LNF is pretty top notch; it held the FWD lap record at the Nürburgring for a handful of years and was pretty dominant in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Series.

I plan on doing road course with it. The course by my house has open track days every month.
Definitely only do the rear bar and spring for the Powell Race Parts rear bar that's on the ZZP website. PRS's bars were developed on GM's actual racecars.
I actually have the prototype "Hardcore" bar on my car - developed on the Time Attack Unlimited car.
I'd do the Powell YYZ springs, as well. He was working with Bilstein to develop a custom damper setup when COVID hit... with him being in Canada and Bilstein being in NY, I think those plans kind of fell apart. I'm not sure if he still plans to work on them at all. I'll have to ask him.
Otherwise, you can just do the Koni's (what I currently have). The fronts are inserts and require cutting the OE front dampers, but it isn't that hard to do if you have a drill and a sawzall.

I'll keep that in mind. I was planning on going with the ZZP springs and sway bars
