There's a list of options on the inside of the glove box door. That's the quickest way.

what the difference between base and Z51 pkg? Dampners and brakes? Is it worth the upgrade or will I need better upgrades in the future anyways? (I was hoping that this was a Z51 pkg detail thread..lol )

For the C5, the Z51 Performance Handling Package includes stiffer springs and stabilizer bars, heavier shocks and a power steering cooler. The larger brakes with cross-drilled rotors is on the C6 Z51 package.

Depends on what you plan on doing with the car. Unless you are into some serious or sanctioned road racing, the Z51 may be all that you need. We ordered the Z51 package on our car and are very pleased with it, especially for its flat roll response and its handling through the twisties and turnies.

You should be able to find numerous threads on the Z51 package using the forum search feature.
