Base C5 GM Susp Upgrade - C6 Z51 Sway Bars - C6 Z06 Shocks - At CULTRAG Performance!
2013 C6 Z51 Sway Bars!
Greetings Friends,
We have the Z51 sway bars kit with the Genuine GM bushings for $257.95
The reason people use these bars most on the C5’s and the C6’s is because unless you’re running 325 width tires in the rear, these are the way to go. These bars don’t cause the vehicle to ride “stiffer” per se. They are mostly for the cornering ability.
You know that feeling when you’re going into the turn and the car leans pretty heavily? These bars are meant to make the vehicle feel flatter in the turns and corner much better in the turns. Another advantage is the handling when you’re coming out of the turn. When you come out of the turns you will not be fighting the wheel as much as you would with the stock bars. These bars, since they’re thicker, make it easier all the way through the turns.
Below are the specifications and comparisons of the C6 Z51 sway bars compared to other Corvette suspension packages.
We offer these sway bars with the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks. Also, whether it is a C5 or C6, coupled with the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks it makes a total different handling package. This package speaks for itself as we have many testimonials from many customers from whom we sold these to here on the forum!
25919502 – Front stabilizer bar
10339124 – Rear stabilizer bar
10387838 – Front stabilizer bar bushings (2)
15241135 – Rear stabilizer bar bushings (2)
Complete kit front and rear is $257.95.
Use part number c6z51bars on our website.
2013 C6 Z06 Shocks!
We sell the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks for $309.95. Many C5 customers ask us why we don’t recommend the 2004 shocks over the 2013. Many people also say that the C6 shocks are only developed for the C6. If you look at all of the basic suspension components between the C5 and C6, they are very much the same. The reason we don’t recommend the 2004 Z06 shocks over the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks is simply because of the price and customer feedback. We have many customers who have tried both sets of shocks and cannot tell the difference between the two, so why not purchase the lesser expensive set!
For the C5, not C5 Z06, we also recommend the C6 Z51 sway bar kit. The C6 Z51 sway bar kit coupled with the 2013 C6 Z06 shocks is our most popular suspension and handling upgrade for the C5.

I did this April, 2014.
20,000 miles + since, and I couldn't be happier.
Great Cornering, "NICE" RIDE, not painfully stiff.
Drove from Boston to VA Beach last month and it was Great.
The Z06 rear sway bar would require a 325+ rear tire width to support the size of the bar. The vehicle would be loose, oversteer, in turns. It is not about having the biggest sway bar, but the correct sway bar for the application.

Thank you for your business and for your feedback!
Order your suspension upgrade from CULTRAG Performance.
Last year I ordered the sway bar upgrade from Gene and felt the difference immediately.
Was on the fence about the Z06 shocks till Gene had the Labor day sale so I bought them.
Put them in yesterday and man what a difference. If you are on the fence or worried that the Z06 shocks will be too harsh--FORGET IT.
They are an amazing upgrade from the stock ones on my 2002 C5 convertible.
The ride and handling are great and not harsh or "hard".
Gene is the best when it comes to price and delivery.
Putting them in was much easier that I expected.

Thank you for your feedback and opportunity to earn your business again. It is greatly appreciated
Can you help me understand the different ride I would get between the two? I realize COs are much more expensive, but what would i need them for?
There is a large difference between factory shocks and coil overs. It also depends on the coil over. You can get various differences of coil overs. I would say they are not able to be compared without a lot more information. Unless you're autocrossing or road racing there is no need for the coil overs.
Ordered, received, and installed the C6 Z51 sway bars. What a difference from the base suspension. Car feels more planted in any attitude and extremely sure footed. Great upgrade. Quick shipping too. Thank you!
PM me the lowest price on a complete kit for a 97 front and rear shocks and bars. Getting ready to tear the rear end out to send the trans off, so I will just replace the stock stuff while its out. I'm running MT ET Street R radial 305/45/18 in the rear and Nitto NT 05 40R R17 in the front.
Thx

We don't PM different pricing. What we offer here is the lowest since the shocks and sway bars are priced at volume pricing already. We are offering a Christmas Holiday special which I will post in a minute. When we run a sale like this it is the only time to save any extra money on the kits.
I ordered these bars, HD end links, and poly bushings from Gene a few years ago. Due to some personal issues, it took me till last Fall to install them. All I can say is ... WOW ... this is how the car SHOULD have been from the factory. I couldn't be happier with the C6 Z51 kit. No degradation in ride quality, huge improvement in cornering. Great performance bang for the buck.
