ditto with ?s above, actually posted same thing in the C6 general section. Do you sell the Z06 versions of the sway bars or are the Z51 versions the same?

Hi All,

I have nothing noted on the exact changes. Normal changes are the valving, etc.

From the way everything looks, they should fit a C5. We're willing to pay for shipping to anyone who wants to purchase them and test them out and provide feedback. If you're interested, send me an email.

Do you have the Z06 springs and sway bars available? Price? If the price is right on these items I'll take the free shipping for feedback. Or were you only referring the free shipping for C5's? Mine is a C6...

The front Z06 bar is the same as Z51. The rear bar is different but unavailable yet.

Z06 front spring is 179.22 + 28.50 shipping!
Z06 rear spring is 180.36 + 28.50 shipping.

I have not sold any springs yet. If you want to buy the entire Z06 package I will ship to you free of shipping. You must provide feedback and you must tell everyone, including your children, that you purchased them from Fred Beans.

Gene, can you send me a PM with the total cost for all the Z06 parts shipped to me. I would need the springs,shocks, and sway bars. My car is a base suspension so it would be a good trial to see the diff between the Z51 and Z06. I would be happy to get the stuff installed and put out a good write up.
