Finally got ol girl back on the road after a few years before the move to SW Florida, looking to upgrade the suspension on a budget. Found some ZR1 sway bars and Z06 struts. Been outta the game a few years what would you guys recommend. H/C/I Auto stall car for reference. Thanks

What don't you like about the way your car handles?

Just my $0.02 cents! I would go for the C6 Z06 shocks and give a lot handling a grip for the road with being so harsh on the driver´s body hehe! On the sway bars thing, I would go for the C5Z option, that is not going to be so punishing on the comfort side.

My recommendation is assuming you use your car on the street.

Take care.
