Default Differences in Z06 suspension?

How much better is it?
If I'm going to upgrade suspension peices, are there better peices to buy (how much better are they)?

What peices were different for the z06 suspension?

As you all can see, I'm toying with the idea of making my car a little better handling...any ideas?

Josh

I assume you do not have the Z51 suspension. Therefore the Z06 suspension will have different springs, sway bars, end links, and shocks. You could buy the springs, bars, and links from Fitchner Chevrolet for $1300 and buy Bilstein sport shocks from one of our vendors for $300. Do the install yourself. It would make a big difference from what you know have.
