I know this is a suspension forum. But I noticed you guys sell clutches also. I have a modded 2000 C5 FRC ... still riding factory clutch for 133k miles. I would like to upgrades to ZO6 or Zr1 Clutch kit? being I do autocross and road race at times. I am not sure what part number will work? Can you provide any info on that?

And I will be ordering the shocks and sway bars soon also.

You'll want to do the LS7 clutch kit which is perfect for what you're doing. You can see the link below.

I was planning on doing the C6 Z06 shock upgrade because I have never replaced my shocks in the 11 years I have owned the Corvette. I thought replacing the end links while I was at it made sense as long as I am replacing the shocks. Considering your price is $120 for the four end links and $110 if I add them to the sway bar package it is like getting the sway bars for $247 and not $257 (small difference I know.)

Will the sway bars transform my performance or do I get most of the improvement from the shocks?

I drive on Los Angeles' crappy roads with lots of potholes and damage so I am concerned I won't get a ton of benefit from them.

The shocks will improve the ride. Even with the car being 11 years old, if you replace the shocks with even standard replacement shocks so you would definitely notice a difference with the Z06 shocks. The sway bars are for cornering. That's why we recommend them as a package. The Z06 shocks are a tad stiffer, so you'll feel more bumps in the road, but it also won't be living driving on a washboard either.

You could always try to order either the shocks or the sway bars first to see if you just like adding one of them first.

The car is 20 years old. I have had it 11 years.

I need to spend next weekend fixing the power steering and my driver seat.

This repair will need to wait for another time. Let me know if you run a sale and I will scoop up the shocks, sway bars and end links. I need to do it. I just don't need to do it now.

Thank you.

I know this is a thread for your suspension package, which by the way is fantastic.
The 'complete package' that I bought from you has taken my 99 coupe from Bangor Me, to Key West FL, and now enjoys the back roads of western NC.

My question to you is....
Do you sell driveshaft couplers?
I bought an 01 torque tube assy with shaft, but it still needs couplers.
I will NOT do the cheap ones. "Chevrolet Only".

Thank you Patrick.
Even with their 'Discount Price', the stealership couldn't come close to your price.
Can't wait 'till tomorrow.

Now I more confused... I was told the C5 ZO6 clutch would be a better upgrade because unlike the C6 ZO6 it will come with the fly wheel? Is that True do you have the C5 ZO6 clutch set also?

I do no agree with what you were told.

To answer your question the C5 Z06 clutch kit is $573.33.

The C6 Z06 clutch kit has 20% more clamping force and 1" more of surface area and is less expensive. Follow my advice.
