If you can lift your car 5 inches off the ground you can replace the sway bars yourself... I don't think the rears even require the car to be lifted. Also, replacing the sway bars with C6Z51 made my 01 steering feel more precise.

I believe The rear sway has to come down for the axle back upgrade, so I figured I’ll have my guy I’m using to do it do them both. But good to know.

Also sway bars and sway ends are easy to do yourself and not expensive (take a look at RockAuto).....give it a try.

John, check your sway bar end links. some of the C5's came with plastic ones and if you have them, I'd be surprised if one or more aren't broken with that mileage.
Also do you have the Magnetic Selective Ride option? if you do, that will impact your shock decision.
Good luck... GUSTO

C6 Z06 shocks are a great upgrade.
C6 Z51 (not Z06) sway bars are another popular mod if you want better handling.
