Default c6 suspension

Is the front suspension the same on a base and a zo6? I know the sway bars and shocks are different. My real question is are the control arms/knuckles/steering rack the same.

I was under the impression that z06 and GS are a little wider

Pretty sure the width difference is all in the wheel width/offset. Widebody C6 wheels are about .9" offset difference and 2" wider in the rear. I could be wrong, but I believe the basic suspension design is the same for all C6s, just a difference of spring/shock rates and sway bar size.
