Much difference (in performance) in the C5 Z06 and the C6Z51 when installed on C5?

I tend to think the C6Z51's are marginally larger but cheaper than the C5Z06's.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

If you're looking for a significant improvement over the C5 Z06 sway bars try Phadt sway bars, you won't regret it...

I got the C6z51 bars for my car (may have to go to C6Z06 when I go to wide fenders and 335s) but was looking for a slight upgrade for my wife's car. Have seen both C5 Z51 and C5 ZZ06 used, in the $75-$150 range. Wondered how they compared

Neither one of us have a lot of corners to go around, but I do love to take mine to the mountians
