Not sure if it was addressed in this FAQ thread but would anyone know what C6 Z51 parts cross-over to the C5? Speaking specifically about suspension (upper/lower control arms & sway bars), wheels/brakes (hubs, calipers, and rotors), and differential.

Good question. I wasn't aware of this being any kind of an issue, on these cars.

This page can answer some of your questions. Compare Z51 to base, and then compare Z51 to Z06. My experience is not to get too wrapped around the axle about Z06 vs. other parts. Sometimes new parts and "better" specs are just marketing. After many miles around the NBR in my Z06 I got to drive a Z51 coupe just as hard as I drove my car, and the only difference I could tell was the 50 less horsepower. Of course, I'm an amateur and I know pros could tell a difference at the limit.

The GM injectors are NOT known for problems. As long as the fuel is clean, the fuel filter has been changed, they can last for hundreds of thousands of trouble free miles. Im sure that there has been some injector failures as with any other mass produced parts.
For the most part, the LS Injector is not a problematic part. Of all the C5 and C6 cars that I have worked on, not one had an INJECTOR related issue.
I own an 02 Z and when it was stock and slightly modded, the injectors were fine of 40K miles. Then I heavily modded it and changed injectors to the Green Top 42 lb/hr injectors for the higher flow rate and lower duty cycle. Sold the old ones to another C5 Forum Member.
