What parts? I think everything but the rear upper a-arm likely fits a C6?

Yes, those items will fit. Not sure about the springs on a C5 though.

They all fit a C6. A lot of the guys in other sections are doing those upgrades, and the replacement parts for both the C6 and C6Z are the same part number. I *think* one of the springs and the sways may not work on the C5, but the shocks and the other spring would. Sorry, I can't remember which spring has the different mounting... I want to say the rear, though.

Bars ,shocks and front spring will fit universally all of the C5 and C6,including the Z, but obviously may not be ideal. The rear spring on a C6 will only fit the C6 as the rear lower control arms and spring mounting pads are different on a C6 vs. C5. C6 and C6Z stuff is all interchangable , except the rear upper control arms.
