Base C5 GM Susp Upgrade - C6 Z51 Sway Bars - C6 Z06 Shocks - www.gmpartshouse.com
Greetings Friends,
2012 C6 Z51 Sway Bars!
We have the Z51 sway bars with the FREE upgrade from OEM to poly bushings for $208.17. The poly bushings are an extra $35 that we throw in for free when you purchase our Z51 sway bar kit. You have to purchase the C6 Z51 sway bar kit for $208.17 to get the poly bushings! We don’t just sell any poly bushings as we sell the poly bushings from PFADT racing here on the forum.
The reason people use these bars most on the C5’s and the C6’s is because unless you’re running 335 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.
Corvette Sway Bar Specifications
Suspension Front (mm) Rear(mm)
C5 base 23.0 19.1
C5Z51 (97-99) 25.4 21.7
C5Z51 (00-04) 28.6 23.6
C5Z06 30.0 23.6
C6 base 25.5 17.5
C6Z51 31.0 25.4
C6Z06 31.0 28.0
We offer these sway bars with the 2012 C6 Z06 shocks. Also, whether it is a C5 or C6, coupled with the 2012 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!
To order, please call 484-949-2099 or go to www.gmpartshouse.com and use part number c6z51bars and be sure to select Chevrolet make.
Thanks. Gene.

Free upgrade to PFADT Poly Bushings!
Complete kit front and rear is $208.17
Use part number c6z51bars on our website under Chevrolet make.
For a limited time we’re offering a free upgrade from OEM to poly bushings with the sway bar kit purchase of $208.17.
2012 C6 Z06 Shocks!
We sell the 2012 C6 Z06 shocks for $254.60. Many C5 customers ask us why we don’t recommend the 2004 shocks over the 2012. 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 2012 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 2012 C6 Z06 shocks is our most popular suspension and handling upgrade for the C5.
To order, please call 484-949-2099 or go to www.gmpartshouse.com/search.php and use part number c6z06shocks and be sure to select Chevrolet make.

Hey there folks...by any chance can you guys offer a complete RUBBER bushing set with those above mentioned kits that are of the highest grade rubber available in today's industry?
I'm trying to restore a 2000 base A4 C5 coupe as a spirited touring car. I do not want the noise, vibration, etc., of poly whatever. I do want big roll bars, very responsive, firm, yet forgiving to expansion joint and pot hole shock absorbers. Sounds like what you offer so far is exactly what I'm looking for except for REALLY good RUBBER bushings...
Can you pull something together?
Thanks a lot!
Jay

Yes, we can sell you the kit without the poly bushings and sell you the GM rubber bushings. Please call our customer service line @ 484-949-2099 and we'll get you taken care of.
Thanks,
Gene.

No. The shocks won't work because they are electronic, and the car is not equippped with the electronics to control them. And the sway bars are too large to be used on that vehicle. They will bolt on, but they are too big to be used with the tire size you have, and will very much affect the handling of the car negatively.

Just installed your recommended sway bars and shocks w/poly upgrade. Considering that my purchase from you and just the next step up (Konis or Bilsteins and aftermarket sways) you've saved me somewhere in the range of $1000. And...what a phenomenal improvement over the worn out original soft ride.
Polys are not in any way abrupt in the sway bar positions and upon close inspection, my original 12 year old, 178,000 mile rubber bushings are in excellent condition...I was very surprised to find them in such condition. The replacement of the shocks and sways eliminated ALL rattles, bangs, squeaks, etc. the car had. Street handling?? Holy crap!
Thanks for offering what you do, more people who want truly streetable upgrades need to know you're there...I will certainly recommend you to anyone
Thanks again, Jay

Your feedback is totally the reason why I do this every day. I want to help people out with things that change their vehicle for the best for a great price. These shocks and sways definitely are the best bang for the buck and perform much better than you're used to with stock. On top of that, you're dealing with worn out shocks on your vehicle.
I'm glad you gave us the opportunity to earn your business and I'm pleased that you're happy. Thank you for your feedback.
Thanks,
Gene.

Just sent this to my buddy for his C5
BUT his 1997 still has the Plastic End-links, What are these running price wise?
Or is there a package that includes the metal end-links too?
Thanks,Matt
