Do C5 shocks fit the C6?
I wanted adjustable HAL's and was wondering if there was any issue with running the C5 shocks on this car?

A few C5 owners put the C6 Z06 shocks on their C5. The C6 has more suspension travel than the C5. I'm not a suspension expert. I'd think they should bolt up to the C6 with no problem. I'm not sure how they would work out, however.

while the suspension travel may be greater in theory, in practice, the usuable travel should be the same, as the suspension geometry is exactly the same. The front is identical, and the rears extrememly similar.
I haven't looked at the mounting points on my 05 street car, but if they are the same, I wouldn't hesitate to use C5 shocks. If you car is extremely low, however, you may need shorter shocks, just as on a C5.
