Installing ZO6 Springs What Else Needed?
I bought a set of ZO6 springs from an 03 to install into my coupe.
My car has high miles so I was wondering if to install them I should replace any other pieces or bushings that hold the springs on or anything else in the area while I'm there.
I did bilstein sports about 6 months ago.
Also installing hotchkis sways and LAPD 3/8 tunnel plate at the same time and getting a zo6 alignment after.
Do you think I might just maybe feel a difference in handling now? Bilsteins did nothing

Yanni,
the rear is easy, the front on the other hand is a PITA.

You'll definitely feel a difference after installing springs and sways. You may also have to install metal end links on the sways if 1) you car is old enough to have the plastic pieces and 2) the Hotchkis kit doesn't supply them. Z06 bars will eventually break the old plastic end links.
Good luck. Changing the springs was definitely the hardest part, but it's definitely worth it!
