Bone stock 08 C6Z differential with bone stock internals. OEM C5Z axles.

Bias ply tires and do not shock the drive train.

Thank you. So essentially you grabbed a C6 cradle, Spring, LCA's, mounts and stuffed it into the C5? Did you go with the C6Z trans as well or just upgrade the output shaft on the C5 trans to mate to the c6Z diff?

You are correct. Used a C6Z T56 trans.

Bought a complete pull out from the local corvette salvage yard.

To to be clear, this is not my car, but a friends car. We help each other with our projects.

He’s been 9.21@158 with it.
