Can you ELABORATE on how you got the C6 Z06 springs to work on the stock C5 rear cradle? (Pics)

C5 Z06 springs - Yes! But C6 Z06 springs????

Thanks,Matt

Sounds like someone ripped him off and told him they put C6 Z06 springs (front and Rear) when in fact they probably were C5 Z06 springs -

Gotta use the rear cradle off a C6 in order for this to happen!

Yep...had an '03 C5Z pror to my C6Z. He most likley got C5Z springs with C6Z shocks and maybe even some C6-Z51 sways. Best bang for the buck handling upgrades on a base C5.

Yup that is what I did, except I am running KONI FSD shocks!

I believe it does...the issues would be with the rear. And speaking of the rear spring, what would you plan on running in conjunction with that C6Z spring on a C5?

Some C5Z springs along with C6 Z51 sways and some Bilstein Sport shocks would be a killer suspension/handling upgrade for a standard C5.
