Base C5 GM Susp Upgrade - C6 Z51 Sway Bars - C6 Z06 Shocks - At CULTRAG Performance!
2013 C6 Z51 Sway Bars!
Greetings Friends,
We have the Z51 sway bars kit with the Genuine GM bushings for $257.95
The reason people use these bars most on the C5’s and the C6’s is because unless you’re running 325 width tires in the rear, these are the way to go. These bars don’t cause the vehicle to ride “stiffer” per se. They are mostly for the cornering ability.
You know that feeling when you’re going into the turn and the car leans pretty heavily? These bars are meant to make the vehicle feel flatter in the turns and corner much better in the turns. Another advantage is the handling when you’re coming out of the turn. When you come out of the turns you will not be fighting the wheel as much as you would with the stock bars. These bars, since they’re thicker, make it easier all the way through the turns.
Below are the specifications and comparisons of the C6 Z51 sway bars compared to other Corvette suspension packages.
We offer these sway bars with the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks. Also, whether it is a C5 or C6, coupled with the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks it makes a total different handling package. This package speaks for itself as we have many testimonials from many customers from whom we sold these to here on the forum!
25919502 – Front stabilizer bar
10339124 – Rear stabilizer bar
10387838 – Front stabilizer bar bushings (2)
15241135 – Rear stabilizer bar bushings (2)
Complete kit front and rear is $257.95

2013 C6 Z06 Shocks!
We sell the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks for $309.95. Many C5 customers ask us why we don’t recommend the 2004 shocks over the 2013. Many people also say that the C6 shocks are only developed for the C6. If you look at all of the basic suspension components between the C5 and C6, they are very much the same. The reason we don’t recommend the 2004 Z06 shocks over the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks is simply because of the price and customer feedback. We have many customers who have tried both sets of shocks and cannot tell the difference between the two, so why not purchase the lesser expensive set!
For the C5, not C5 Z06, we also recommend the C6 Z51 sway bar kit. The C6 Z51 sway bar kit coupled with the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks is our most popular suspension and handling upgrade for the C5.
For the replacement of electronic shocks you'll need to order the shock simulators from aftermarket online vendors. The simulator will make the computer think the electronic shock is still attached. That is all.

so i can get the shock simulators and run the C6 Z06 shocks without any problems?
O.K., so I'm putting my C-5 Base Coupe up for the winter.
Just bought it a month ago.
Active Suspension is fully functional, and I'd rather not remove it.
When I PUNCH it, display states "Active Suspension On" and changes back to odometer.
Are these C6 Z06 shocks going to work with this?
Newbie here, so stop laughing.
109K miles, and shocks are kinda "Skooshy", (mild up and down on highway, makes me nervous with that 'Floating' feeling).
So I know the shocks need replacing.

If you have the electronic suspension all you need are shock simulators. The shock simulators plug into the connector where the shocks used to be plugged in and this tricks the system into thinking the electronic shocks are there. We don't sell them but many other forum vendors do.

Great info! So if you use shock simulators...then your car will be in competition mode 100% of the time? Mine has Active handling system also.
I ordered and installed mine last month (with metal end links) to upgrade the suspension on my 99 FRC with Z51. I was very happy with the service and results.
I just placed my morder yesterday. Thank you very much. Great service.
