Joe told me the rear uppers have a different through pin and I'd need to swap the top bushing. I hope its not the case with the lowers too.

Joe would know much better than I would!

I thought with the different rear spring mount the C5 lower arm would be different.

For the C6Z (vs C6), yeah, the rear upper uses dog bones like the front while the non-Z uses the, uh, bolt style is the best I'm coming up with as I drink my morning coffee.

Joe, do you have to have my old control arms or can I " swap" my old ones for a Delrin set so I don't have to have my car on jack stands for a month.

I prefer to install them for you. Turnaround is usually 3 to 5 days.

You could buy an extra set of arms, maybe that would keep you up and running. Then you could sell the stockers

I just had my first non points event last weekend and these bushings feel awesome!
I did shocks and sways at the same time so its hard to say how much time they dropped from my runs exactly but the car feels so tight now.
Thanks
