End Links

I would put them up front, you will feel the biggest difference up front and the rear are easyer to put on when they come in!! good luck..

Up grades

I just did mine two days ago, I put the z51 bars up front and rear with the medal end links, along with the 2010 Z06 shocks all the way around, and just a added touch I put the performance drilled and slotted rotors on. It's like night and day the difference in the responce, and the braking is real nice too.

Hope your test ride is a good one for you... Take care

I know this is late but when I did the C6Z51 set up with the poly bushing I did the metal end links up front only.It's been like that for awhile now. I will get the rears eventually but haven't.

after you put the endlinks on, check the sway for clearance between the bar and rear cradle. a lot of us had the bar touching the cradle, not allowing the bar to roll as required.
