The ZO6 and I believe ZR1 sway bars are TOO heavy/ stiff for your C5.
IF, you were to use them, you will have to SIGNIFICANTLY increase the width of your rear tires or it will cause oversteer problems.
This is why recommend the Hotchkis Sport setup over the C6 Z06 or Z51 setup.
With the Hotchkis you get the stiffness but can adjust the rear to eliminate oversteer.
And at about $350 they are still an economical upgrade.

Purchased mine from Gene at GM Parts House a few months back and am happy with the results on my 2000 auto.
This is one of those good value for the money upgrades and would recommend this.
On a side note- one of the front sway links became loose a couple of months after install and was making popping noise so I just torqued it back and all is good now.
Just did shock and spring swap on my 98 to a c6 set up and what a difference. Sway bars are next with the metal links in a few weeks
Those c6 z06 shocks are a lot stiffer than the c5 ones!!
