Base C6 GM Susp Upgrade - C6 Z51 Sway Bars - C6 Z06 Shocks - At CULTRAG Performance!
2013 C6 Z51 Sway Bars!
Greetings Friends,
We have the Z51 sway bars kit with the Genuine GM bushings for $249.20
The reason people use these bars most on the C5’s and the C6’s is because unless you’re running 325 width tires in the rear, these are the way to go. These bars don’t cause the vehicle to ride “stiffer” per se. They are mostly for the cornering ability.
You know that feeling when you’re going into the turn and the car leans pretty heavily? These bars are meant to make the vehicle feel flatter in the turns and corner much better in the turns. Another advantage is the handling when you’re coming out of the turn. When you come out of the turns you will not be fighting the wheel as much as you would with the stock bars. These bars, since they’re thicker, make it easier all the way through the turns.
Below are the specifications and comparisons of the C6 Z51 sway bars compared to other Corvette suspension packages.
We offer these sway bars with the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks. Also, whether it is a C5 or C6, coupled with the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks it makes a total different handling package. This package speaks for itself as we have many testimonials from many customers from whom we sold these to here on the forum!
25919502 – Front stabilizer bar
10339124 – Rear stabilizer bar

Complete kit front and rear is $249.20

2013 C6 Z06 Shocks!
We sell the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks for $299.95 Many C5 customers ask us why we don’t recommend the 2004 shocks over the 2013. Many people also say that the C6 shocks are only developed for the C6. If you look at all of the basic suspension components between the C5 and C6, they are very much the same. The reason we don’t recommend the 2004 Z06 shocks over the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks is simply because of the price and customer feedback. We have many customers who have tried both sets of shocks and cannot tell the difference between the two, so why not purchase the lesser expensive set!
For the C5, not C5 Z06, we also recommend the C6 Z51 sway bar kit. The C6 Z51 sway bar kit coupled with the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks is our most popular suspension and handling upgrade for the C5.
Then if you want to you can go to a larger bar set such as the Z06 or ZR1 but the Z51 is the largest that should be used unless you are running this size rear tire
Well, like Patrick said there are different options as far as Z06 or ZR1. The only difference in the Z51 and Z06 sway bars is the larger rear sway bar.
It really depends on what you're doing with the vehicle. I would be more inclined to go to the Z06 sway bar kit for the 325 and up.
I am planning a tire/wheel swap on my 2006 base c6 vert. I am going to:
19x9 255/35/19 front and 20x11 305/30/20 rear. Will the z51 sways and Zo6 shocks fit without modifications/difficulties. If so please give me price shipped to 13034. Best Regards, Peter

Hello Peter,
This would be the perfect factory upgrade for your vehicle, yes. The prices on the items are in the original post as well as the links to order the items. Please add them to the shopping cart on the site as it is setup to check exact shipping costs to your zip code.
I have a 2001 Vert Z51 package. I am looking at upgrading the suspension. I Dont autocross or track at all so its just for some spirited driving. I cant see spending on the PFADT or bilsteins for what I drive.
What do you recommend on doing? C6 ZO6 shocks? Keep the same sway bars and ends and just do shocks or change all out?

Thanks!
In the C5 section we recommend the C6 Z06 shocks coupled with the C6 Z51 sway bars. I would personally do them both!

Gene or anyone-- is it much of an upgrade going from the C5 Z51 sway bars to the C6 Z51 sway bars? Or from the C5 Z51 to a JC stage 1 sway bars? or better just to keep the C5z51's sway and upgrade the shocks?

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.
