Default Adding Z-07 or is it Z-51?

I am adding somethings to my 94...

J55 13" HD Brakes and a 30mm front Sway bar. Other than HD Bilstien shocks what did the Z-51 option come with for that year car? 94-96 range.

Where did you find the 30mm swaybar? They are getting really hard to find.

there was no Z51 option in 94. I believe it the Z07 option was the perfomance suspension RPO. It included different front and rear springs then the FE1 or FX3 suspensions. I also believe some of the suspension bushings were different (harder).

Z07 came with the FX3, stiffer springs and shocks, 30mm solid front sway bar, harder bushings in the lower control arms and 17x9.5" wheels with 275/40-17 tires all around. IIRC, the J55 big brake package was part of Z07 too.

Add the stiffer springs and you should be there for all practical purposes.
