Default C6 Rear upper CA question

I am getting ready to build a dedicated track car on a 2006 C6. I already have spherical bearings on a 2008 C6Z and am wanting to swap them over to the C6 and put the stock C6 units on the C6Z.
I know the 2005 C6 has different rear upper CA's than the C6Z. I haven't picked up the 2006 C6 yet, so my question is, does the 06 C6 have different rear upper CA's than the C6Z as well?

Thanks,
DF

as far as I know all of the aluminum framed cars have the shimmable style mount, and the steel framed cars have the C5 style rears. Haven't confirmed, just an assumption

I think it's safe to say that. C6Zs have dogbones in the rear and non-Zs have the C5 style. I haven't seen a GS but I'm betting David is correct and it'll be like the non-Z C6, too.

This is 100 percent correct.
