Z06 A-arms and convertible Z51 A-arms
I have an '08 conv. vette and a friend of mine has the Z06 from same year. Are the A-arms inter-changable between the 2 cars or won't it work?

They are the same.
They're not the same.
Take a look here:

I took a quick look and it came up with curious results!
The front upper arms for the Z06 and the base model have the same part#.
The front lower arms have different #s for the two different models.
The rear uppers have different #s.
The rear lowers have the same #s.
So.....some seem to be the same, and some are different!!
Butt.....I'm not positive about any of that info, so do some more checking!!
BTW, the Z06 is the "Y87", the "Y67" is the base C6, and the "Y07" is a vert.
I don't know what #s refer to a ZR1 or GS.

drivinfast is correct - the rear upper A-arms are definitely different.
The Z06 upper A-arms mount in the same manner as the front ones - they use a "dogbone" type bracket to mount it to the frame.
The base C6 rear upper A-arms have a different manner of mounting.
I don't know what the differences are up front, but there do seem to be different part#s for the front lower A-arms between the two models. They mount in the same manner, so I don't know what the difference is.
