Are there any c5 owners in the central texas (Austin, Killeen, San Marcos etc) area that have modified suspensions? Looking to upgrade my 04 base coupe to something much better for carving corners than the base setup.

Anyone with stiffer than factory setups, could we possibly meet up and take me for a ride to see the difference?

I have Z51 bars, C6Z Shocks, Endlinks, and am in the process of doing Poly Bushings on the car. I'm south near 35 and Slaughter.

Lots of good options to choose from depending on your budget. One popular choice is a set of C6 Z06 shocks and sway bars. They won't break the bank and are an improvement over the base suspension on a C5.
