C5 suspension bolts ?
So i'm upgrading my 2000 c5 to C6 Z06 Shocks and C6 Z51 sways and was wondering for those who did the work themselves, did you have any issues with the install? Should I order new bolts/nuts before attempting the install? Spray PB Blaster the night before?

Sounds like you're used to working on rusty cars 
136k on my coupe that has seen its share of time outdoors and in the rain (but never in the winter/salt), and no problems at all. I used a little PB during the removal but didn't have to apply it far in advance or use heat or anything.
Some say to replace the rear lower shock bolts but I just re-torqued them to 107 ft*lb and have had no problems. Good luck!
