Should I be looking into changing the sway bars and shocks? I know on the C5 they should be changed but what about the Z? Mine is an 01. Metal link upgrade?
The Z's suspension was pretty darn tight right out of the box. If you like a tighter feel, go for it. I am in the process of installing the C6 Z51 bars on my '03. I got the rear in, but it was getting late so I'm going to put in the front one in the next day or so.
If your car has more than 50k on the clock, you might want to consider changing the shocks (I'm doing this soon too - also C6z parts).
These parts (like so many others on our cars) don't necessarily need to be changed, unless you plan on tracking/autox-ing the car. I think you'd be hard pressed to push a stock Z to it's limits on the street.
...... however, the desire to mod should never be denied.
I would certainly say that the best combination and the best bang for your buck would be the C6 Z51 sway bars and the C6 Z06 shocks. I have specials on both of them right now.
