Default C5/C6 Differences in Shocks and T-1 Bars???

I am in the process of selling my 02Z with the hope and plan of getting a C6ZO6 in a year or so (at least I am praying it will happen). I have suspension parts (shocks and T1 bars)for the 02Z that were never installed and now wondering if I can use them on the C6Z. They are a set of QA-1 shocks and the T-1 Bars. Now I know that C6 shocks can be used on a C5 BUT is the reverse true? I remember reading some where on here that the C6 shocks are a little longer than the C5's. If this is true(???), that would allow you to use the C6 on the C5 but not the reverse. There is also a new T1 bar set from GM that is suppose to fit both C5 and C6. What is the difference between the old T1 bar sets and new? Someone here mentioned that one of the bars (dont recall if it was frt or back) was the same for C5/C6 and that the other bar was changed. Can anyone help me out? Do I sell what I have and buy new shocks/bars?
