Default My suspension setup

Wanting a smooth with better performance, cornering and rebound. Responsive yet soft.

Changing my tired old C5 shocks and swaybars with new C6 Z06 shocks, Eibach 32/29 swaybars, poly urth mounts, and GM Metal endlinks.

How do you think this new setup will feel or perform over my worn 80k mile stock suspension?

Don't forget to change your leaf springs, with age they do sag thus changing the balance of the car. Your options would be to purchase new GM springs, find an aftermarket supplier or go to a coil over suspension set up.
Enjoy
