stock to Z51 upgrade?
I'm looking at the Z51 rotors, shocks and sway bar brand new for my stock C6 coupe, are these mods worth it and what would you pay and what other upgrades does the Z51 have besides gearing?

I would sooner go with the better aftermarket suspension components (Koni/Bilstein or maybe even coilovers, Hotchkiss, Brembo etc.) available before using the (proven, but not quite as razor sharp) OEM Z51 stuff if upgrading already.

I understand the Z51 rotors also get rusty like the stock ones. If you are buying new rotors, might as well try something different (zinc plated). I got mine from Rotorpros.com, $250 shipped. They were zinc plated and painted (hubs). Had them on my 350Z for two years, and so far on the Vette, so good. Here is a link to my thread where I posted some pics.
