Base C6 GM Susp Upgrade - C6 Z51 Sway Bars - C6 Z06 Shocks - At CULTRAG Performance!
=&2013 C6 Z51 Sway Bars!
Greetings Friends,
We have the Z51 sway bars kit with the Genuine GM bushings for $257.95
The reason people use these bars most on the C5’s and the C6’s is because unless you’re running 325 width tires in the rear, these are the way to go. These bars don’t cause the vehicle to ride “stiffer” per se. They are mostly for the cornering ability.
You know that feeling when you’re going into the turn and the car leans pretty heavily? These bars are meant to make the vehicle feel flatter in the turns and corner much better in the turns. Another advantage is the handling when you’re coming out of the turn. When you come out of the turns you will not be fighting the wheel as much as you would with the stock bars. These bars, since they’re thicker, make it easier all the way through the turns.
Below are the specifications and comparisons of the C6 Z51 sway bars compared to other Corvette suspension packages.
We offer these sway bars with the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks. Also, whether it is a C5 or C6, coupled with the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks it makes a total different handling package. This package speaks for itself as we have many testimonials from many customers from whom we sold these to here on the forum!
25919502 – Front stabilizer bar
10339124 – Rear stabilizer bar
10387838 – Front stabilizer bar bushings (2)
15241135 – Rear stabilizer bar bushings (2)
Complete kit front and rear is $257.95
Use part number c6z51bars on our website.
=&2013 C6 Z06 Shocks!
We sell the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks for $309.95. Many C5 customers ask us why we don’t recommend the 2004 shocks over the 2013. Many people also say that the C6 shocks are only developed for the C6. If you look at all of the basic suspension components between the C5 and C6, they are very much the same. The reason we don’t recommend the 2004 Z06 shocks over the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks is simply because of the price and customer feedback. We have many customers who have tried both sets of shocks and cannot tell the difference between the two, so why not purchase the lesser expensive set!
For the C5, not C5 Z06, we also recommend the C6 Z51 sway bar kit. The C6 Z51 sway bar kit coupled with the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks is our most popular suspension and handling upgrade for the C5.
Finally got my Z51 sway bars installed. Wow. what a difference love them. Thanks Gene

I have a 2005 Vette (non-Z51/Z06) and my front OEM end links are worn out. This looks to be the right time to upgrade my sway bars, and the Z06 shocks sound very interesting, but I have the F55 suspension I believe. Will the shocks work with this?

Yes, but since the 05 has the magnetic shocks you'll have to get the shock simulators or install a resistor in the system, to trick the computer into thinking the magnetic shocks are still installed. Other than that a direct bolt on.

So in other words I lose that feature? Do you think the swap is worth it?
what are the EXACT difference between C6 base vs Z51.... I know the sway bars and shocks...what about the transverse spring? ( if im saying the right word there. )
Bump for a good vendor - I recently purchased a sway bar through them and it was very well packaged to prevent shipping issues! If youve ever had a swaybar go through the box during shipping, youll understand why packaging is so important.

base uses a ridiculously softer front spring but the rear is roughly the same

Shocks front and rear are different
Sways are different
are these springs hard to install? (the transverse springs) I don't think iv seen anyone selling them on here
So in other words I lose that feature? Do you think the swap is worth it?
Yes you'll lose the feature since you won't have the shocks any longer. My opinion is that you'll be happier with the ride and handling of the Z06 shocks.

Thank you for the business and for your feedback. I came up with the new packaging after we started the new business and I wanted to address previous packaging complaints. I'm glad to hear it has been taken care of, by several people.
Howdy Gene. I've got a 2006 base model with Centennial wheels (325 rear tires) along with the Z06 brake upgrade and F55 suspension.
What package would you suggest for complete sway bar upgrade and price at?

I would certainly give the Z06 sway bars a try and we have them on the site for $281.14 + shipping.
