Thanks to the guys at Cultrag. Great to have you on the forum.😁

I have a 2005 base coupe with the f55 mag ride shocks. I have one going and will be needing new shock and want to upgrade to better. Maybe the johnny o'connel package suggestions?

I would suggest the C6 Z06 shocks with the C6 Z51 sway bars as mentioned in this thread.

I have an 05 that I've done a complete widebody conversion on, so I am running a 325 tire in the rear. Could I still use the z51 sways?

Yes you can but since you have the larger rear tires you could do larger as well

I was referenced over to this thread from a question I posted about suspension upgrade. I have an 07' Base C6, factory everything except for the exhaust (I upgraded last year). I feel the ride is not as smooth as I would like my vette to be and was looking at a Johnny O'Connell package that was going to cost me in excess of $1200-$1400 for sway bars and shock absorbers. Guys on the thread said I should look at the package you guys sell for the Z51 Sway Bars and Z06 Shock Upgrade Kit, and would save me some considerable bucks (like the sound of that).

My vette is a daily driver, I don't run it at tracks, I'm just looking to upgrade the suspense for a smoother ride. Is your package the right way for me to go? Would you recommend both the sway bars and shocks? Is this a pretty simply install that I can take to any mechanic?

Any advice is greatly appreciated as this is my first vette I have owned and I'm looking to make an investment into the vehicle to keep it as a classic.

Having a Corvette with a smoother ride doesn't really go together in the same sentence. The shocks will be more firm. Any upgraded GM shock or any aftermarket shock. You'll feel more bumps in the road. The sway bars are to help for cornering. Nothing is going to make it smoother.

Default Part # 12499871 GM Exhaust Filler Plate question

Gene,

Hello, Can you confirm if the above part # will fit a 2011 GS with the NPP Exhaust. I did see a few posts that it might not or would need to be cut/modify to fit.

Hope you enjoy the Easter Holiday.

Gene/Patrick, I have an '06 Base Coupe. Are your packages listed on the website or do I have to call to find out pricing? Ideally I want to go with the Z51 sway bars and Z06 shocks, and also the Z51 traverse leaf spring. I just did a weekend in the NC mountains and I know she can do better. Thanks!

I personally never recommend a Z51 spring to anyone who calls. After adding the C6 Z06 shocks and C6 Z06 sway bars I do not believe you'll notice the difference with our without the spring. It is a waste of your money. Of course, if you disagree and want to order one we can do so.
