Suspension
I'm looking to tighten up the suspension on my 118k mile c5. I replaced the the shocks with c6 z51 and it helped a little but it still feels a liilte loose. What else should I change out to help make the car feel tight.

From what I read in the past, the C6 Z51 sways were a better choice for a C5, unless you have a whole lot tire in the back... Also, make sure you replace the plastic endlinks (if equipped) with the metal ones.

Those C6 Z bars are B I G!!!!The C6 Z51 bars a a lot better choice!
You can replace the rubber A arm bushings with some graphite impegenated poly bushings for a WHOLE LOT better feel! Your rubber bushings are probably like silly puddy by now!
