As you can see from the original post where I mentioned the specs there is a considerable difference between C5 and C6 Z51 sway bars. I'd do the C6 Z51 bars with the C6 Z06 shocks.
Gene,
Quick question for you I've considered upgrading my sway bars for a few years now. I just recently bought new wheels and will increase my tires sizes to 265/35/18 and 305/30/19. I have a 07 3LT coupe with F55 selective ride control. If I order the Z51 sway bars do you think I will need the bushings or ends links? My car only has about 30k on the odometer.

You will need new bushings, included in the kit, since the sway bars are a different diameter. If you do not have any noise coming from the current end links and they are not damaged then there is no need to replace.

Gene, Thanks for the reply I don't believe I have any noises or issued coming from my current end links so I might be good with those. Does the suspension code play a part in this upgrade at all? I read something a while ago where there were different sway bars for the earlier C6's compared to the later years.

Joe. I wouldn't worry about getting new end links then. The Z51 does have a specific suspension code, but Z51 sway bars are Z51 sway bars.
Just ordered the shocks and swaybar/4 end links kit.
2005 Corvette with 160,000 miles (all put on be yours truly) and the shocks and end links are shot.
Will be interesting to see what a difference this makes. I doubt I can tell from how it was when the car was new, but it should be night and day difference from its current condition.

Thank you for the opportunity to earn your business. You're definitely going to see a very noticeable difference. Please post your thoughts on our upgrade here!
Just want to give props to whoever at Cultrag took the time to think this out and put it together.
Out of curiosity, would you know what all is needed to put the F55 MagnaRide system on a base coupe?
I know shocks and the related ECU, at least, but have no idea if the ECU can be integrated or, if it can, how it's integrated. Quick plug-n-play?
For the money, would it be better to just go with other pkgs, Z51, et al?
