Are the corvette c6 spindles the same front and rear? And are the c6 spindles the same as Z06.

I've never compared the 2 side by side I just know they carry different part numbers and I didn't argue when I ordered them.

The differences I have found between the zo6 and standard C6 is the Z06 cradle is magnesium and the lower control arms are a little different. The springs are stiffer and depending on shocks they can be different as well. And the brakes are bigger.

Everything else is pretty much the same.
