Pretty broad question. The LS3 is a nice upgrade, but probably not worth the work if your LS1/LS6 is still healthy. Most aftermarket suspension upgrades for the C6 are compatible with the C5. Most factory C6 suspension parts will work with the C5 as well, but again not really worth the effort since performance gain will be minimal. If you have a mid-late 2003 or 2004 you can use the C6Z fuel pump, but the sending units for the C5 and C6 are not compatible. C6 Z06 brakes can be mounted on a C5, but require a wheel size of 18" or greater up front to clear the calipers.
Generally speaking-- no, it's not worth just putting factory C6 parts on a C5. You're better off just taking advantage of the broad aftermarket support for the C5 and going from there.

TKS Yes I know it's pretty wide open question, brakes ,suspension, maby intake/injectors...Realy just asking with a 20 year old sports car looking at when you repair or replace something use this C6 part instead of type of thing.
