Questions about a C5 Z06 track car I'm looking at ???
Looking at a silver 2003 Z06 that's had a bunch of mods for track days, some I don't know about - I could use help with info on the following -
1. It has Penske shocks, the bodies are red, they appear to be fully threaded and there's an air fitting (to add nitrogen ???) at the top of the shock. Don't see anyway to adjust them ???
2. The leaf springs are numbered 22188480 rear and 22188479 front - are these stock or something else ???
3. Car has BIG fat blue sway bars front and rear - heim links at the ends but only one mounting hole on each end of front & rear bars ???
4. Rear fenders are wider than stock, very subtley, hardly noticeable. The rear tires are 335x18 RA1s on Hickok wheels and the car is NOT tubbed. The fender flares do not appear to be glassed on and the inner fenders look to be NON stock bolt ons ???
There are numerous other mods like B&B exhaust, a DTE rear end brace, rollbar, and much more but the above items are obvious things I'd like to know about.
I'd appreciate any help, THANKS

Sway bars are GM T-1
Springs are OEM not sure on the numbers. They are in a circle?
Fenders are probably ACP if they are glass or CF.

Springs and rates:
Springs keep the car off the ground, and reduce dive/squat during acceleration and braking, as well as controlling body roll. The stiffness goes Base/FE1 < Z51/FE3 < Z06/FE4.
Here are some Spring P/N's, in case you are looking to upgrade:
- Z06 Front spring: 22178729
- Z06 Rear spring: 22188038
- Z51 Front spring: 22178729 (note: same as Z06)
- Z51 Rear spring: 22179020
- Base Front Spring: 22178728
- Base Rear Spring: 22179019
Those are T1 spings and sway bars ( big blue)
the Shocks are the Penske 7500 series
Gary Hoffman sells and services Penske shocks

The fenders sound like ACP, which I have also:
Sounds like the suspensions is a very good set up.
