Those are from a C6 Z06 car (990 front, 996 rear). Front should bolt up just fine. The rear will not interchange.

This is what I did for the set-up on my 04 stick vert. Street and no tracking in the selection of parts. Keep in mind that suspension geometry/ratios must be kept relatively proportionate to spec in order to prevent understeer/oversteer concerns.
I assembled the following for my car and it handles very well for a Vert:
C6 Z51 front spring
C5 Z51 rear spring
C5 Z06 front sway bar
C6 Z51 rear sway bar
Poly bushings
Metal end links (if not already equipped)

I sourced the springs, and sways used. The end links were new.

Source a C5 Z06 rear spring and call it good.

How quick do you need the car back up and running?
