Base C5 GM Susp Upgrade - C6 Z51 Sway Bars - C6 Z06 Shocks - At GM Parts House!
2012 C6 Z51 Sway Bars!
Greetings Friends,
We have the Z51 sway bars kit with the Genuine GM bushings for $208.17.
The reason people use these bars most on the C5’s and the C6’s is because unless you’re running 335 width tires in the rear, these are the way to go. These bars don’t cause the vehicle to ride “stiffer” per se. They are mostly for the cornering ability.
You know that feeling when you’re going into the turn and the car leans pretty heavily? These bars are meant to make the vehicle feel flatter in the turns and corner much better in the turns. Another advantage is the handling when you’re coming out of the turn. When you come out of the turns you will not be fighting the wheel as much as you would with the stock bars. These bars, since they’re thicker, make it easier all the way through the turns.
Below are the specifications and comparisons of the C6 Z51 sway bars compared to other Corvette suspension packages.
We offer these sway bars with the 2012 C6 Z06 shocks. Also, whether it is a C5 or C6, coupled with the 2012 C6 Z06 shocks it makes a total different handling package. This package speaks for itself as we have many testimonials from many customers from whom we sold these to here on the forum!
To order, please call 484-949-2099 or go to www.gmpartshouse.com and use part number c6z51bars and be sure to select Chevrolet make.
Thanks. Gene.

2012 C6 Z06 Shocks!
We sell the 2012 C6 Z06 shocks for $254.60. Many C5 customers ask us why we don’t recommend the 2004 shocks over the 2012. Many people also say that the C6 shocks are only developed for the C6. If you look at all of the basic suspension components between the C5 and C6, they are very much the same. The reason we don’t recommend the 2004 Z06 shocks over the 2012 C6 Z06 shocks is simply because of the price and customer feedback. We have many customers who have tried both sets of shocks and cannot tell the difference between the two, so why not purchase the lesser expensive set!
For the C5, not C5 Z06, we also recommend the C6 Z51 sway bar kit. The C6 Z51 sway bar kit coupled with the 2012 C6 Z06 shocks is our most popular suspension and handling upgrade for the C5.
To order, please call 484-949-2099 or go to www.gmpartshouse.com and use part number c6z06shocks and be sure to select Chevrolet make.
Thanks. Gene.

Gene, To upgrade the C5 suspension, why don't you recommend changing the springs in addition to the sways and shocks?
Well, here's the deal. Many customers have commented that they cannot tell the difference with the springs added or not added with the shocks and sway bars. With that said, I have a hard time charging a customer several hundred dollars for an upgrade they're not even going to notice. I don't like to sell parts that way.
