Default z51 suspension same as z06?

I just looked up the RPO code and it says I have the z51 on my 98. Is the z51 the same suspension package or close to the later z06 models. The reason why I ask is I have a chance to get some z06 sway bars and I wanted to see if Im going to get a great benefit over the z51 bars. Am I?

I'm not sure if this is true for all Z51's, but the later Z51's have the same rear sway bar as the Z06, but the Z06 has a larger front sway bar.
