Good move. You will notice a difference for the better. for the price, it's a no brainer. Sleep easy and enjoy

I did the C6Z shocks sways and links! Nice improvement on the street and fun highway speeds!

*NOTE* I went with Z06 sways because I run a 345/30/19 rear tire which is needed with the Z rear sways!

If your rear tire is NOT 325 or wider, stick with the Z51 sways!

I have done this setup on my 2000 vert and an very satisified. Cornering is improved which was important ot me. Also helped that I also had the car lowered.

My next suspension upgrade will be with the tires. I have the Hankook Evo's on there now and don't feel that they are very sticky when accelerating out of a curve especially with the traction control turned off.

The vert has CIA, short tube headers, high flow throttle body , cat back system and a professonal tune so I don't feel that I have an abundance of power coming out of a curve. Also I may be judging these tires before they have had a chance to heat up?????

I would say DO IT.

I just installed mine today and noticed a nice improvement over the base setup. Very smooth and no leaning through the corners.

I'm getting the alignment checked tomorrow. Should I have it set at the Z06 settings or just keep it the same for my model?
