Default Z51 ?

Besides Sways and shocks, what else is different from the base suspension?

Different springs and it comes with a power steering cooler. Do it and don't think twice about it. It's what makes a C5 handle like a sports car. If you get the standard suspension it does become a little soft. This is just my opinion, but you won't be sorry if you get this option.

Z51 is the best unless you drive on very bad roads.

I drive in the NYC suburbs! I have the base suspension and was wondering what I was missing. Is the power steering cooler an easy add on?
