Parts are for a C5, correct?

Are the T1 bars and end links all still in good condition?

...same question for the LG coil overs. How much use on the suspension parts?

Definitely interested in quite a few things you have listed.

What's the wheel config? I assume by OEM you mean 17x9.5 and 18x10.5.

But if they're all 18's I'm interested.

Parts are off a 2006 C6Z06. All seat and seat related components fits C5, but T1 bars are for C6.

As far as condition, I don't think a steel swar bar will "go bad". They are shiny and no rust. Coil overs were installed at about 13k miles, car has 19k right now with very little street use. As far as I am aware they are in perfect shape the last I checked, but I will know more when I get them off the car in hopefully a week.

The rims are OEM C6Z sizes (18x9.5 and 19x12). Tires are 285/30/18 and 345/30/19. Hope that covers it all.

Thanks for the correction.

Is the g-force harness a latch style or camlock?

To answer additional questions, G-Force is cam lock and all 4 coil-overs are for sale.

UPDATE - HANS SOLD, TRAILER SOLD

Thanks for the kind words John. It was never my intention to keep the car permanently, like my C5Z. So while I have not made the final decision on the car, I can't see keeping it just for the street. I'm actually not sad about it. I can look back and say I achieved EVERYTHING I set out to do and then some. I started as a novice in 2001 learning year after year (they were exciting times). I finally made it to the advance group, ran many time trials, winning many of them outright and setting a few club records here and there. I became a driving instructor, had a blast teaching new students...seeing the looks on their face after they made huge breakthroughs with their driving. I got to drive some of the fastest machinery in the world (the C6Z) on some of the most famous tracks in the US. I never got into an accident or trouble (knock on wood). And most importantly got to meet some really GREAT people. I think the last part was the best, traveling to new places and meeting new people...it was an adventure with tons of memories over the past 11 years.

I just can't justify the cost when I find myself no longer enjoying the sport. I think I would probably have enjoy wheel to wheel racing, but I do not have the resouces to support that in anyway (at least not in a vette). Beleive it or not I am getting back into GNCC cross country motocross. The best part is that it is cheap, fun, and I can go riding and come back in just a couple hours, no hotels, no trailering, no big expenses.

I have to say I had a blast, lived out a lifetime dream and checked one off on the bucket list, just time to move on.

The way I understood it, the base C6 bars would fit but the C6Z06 bars were different.

I've been known to be wrong before. In this case, I wouldn't mind being wrong again.

Yes it is real expensive to run 10/10 the way I like. Mine sits due to economy. Healthier for me to do 15-20 miles in the sea kayak for the cost of a few bottles of water. I don't need much to get mine back together except time and desire. Few days plus work is what I need. Then I need money I can waste.

Your son is how old now Matt?

Thanks for all the interest guys! I am trying to get the coil overs and sway bars off this weekend if possible and then I will follow up with all those who had interest in the order they came.

Regarding the seat. Unless you already have a side rail, you WILL need all the components listed to get it mounted properly (the slide is optional). I also recommend to whomever buys the seat to buy the sub belt mount as well. In my opinion, it is all one package.

I would be interested and ready to buy the whole seat setup but would like to see some photos first. Also, is this everything I actually need to install the seat?
