z51 suspension to base c6
i'm considering the purchase of an 06 c6 z51, however the suspension is too stiff for my use. this may go against some die-hard vette fans, but is it possible to change the suspension from a z51 to the base corvette? if so, where can i get the oem suspension at a decent price. thanks...

GM parts house.com gene culley will take care of you, I bought the base model and added Z51 sway bars and Bilstein shocks{sports} shock warehouse.com IT IS PERFECT NOW!!!

Spring rates in the rear are almost identical, Rates in the front, on the Z51 are a little higher, but the shocks should control that nicely. Z51 owners who have made only a shock change have been very pleased..

I would really suggest to go with the z51 then just change the shocks.
Reason is I had a base suspension and upgraded to Z06 and z51 springs but kept the base shocks absorbers.
Very very confortable ride.
good luck!
