Biggest difference is in cornering, which is totally flat now - no body lean or roll whatsoever. Ride is slightly stiffer due to the valving in the C6 Z06 shocks vs. the original OEMs, but not so stiff that it upsets the car on these crappy Michigan roads. The key here is that I kept my base suspension springs, which are alot more compliant on bumpy surfaces. I have driven several C6 Z06's here in Michigan over several weeks time and, although they were monsters in terms of power and handling, they beat the hell out of you on crappy roads, which is about all we have here in Michigan.
