C5 base 23.0 19.1
C5Z51 (97-99) 25.4 21.7
C5Z51 (00-04) 28.6 23.6

Base FE1.... 440 577

FE4- Z06.... 525 714
What is the benefit of changing the Springs from Base FE1 to lets say FE3 - Z51
if you don't mind me asking what is the ball park $ figure for the changes...including an alignment?
Thanks
You can buy the C6Zo6 shocks for around $260 and the C6Zr1 sway bars for just under $200. All new from two of the vendors on the forum. I did the shocks and I will be getting the sways next wed. Can't wait to see the brown truck coming up the street.
I've contacted Gene for the information to place the order for the C6 Z51 swaybars with metal endlinks and poly bushings. Is the anything I need to be concerned with relative to fitment/clearance or unwanted noise?

Just use lots of the grease that come with the bushings. Some have experienced the larger sway bar in the rear sitting against the cradle and have made spacers.
How about swapping to C5Z springs? Worth the bucks? And from what i can read the C6Z06 sways are for larger rear tires? I will eventually (next few months) be switching to an 11" rear rim and probably running some nitto 315 drag radials out back.
