Default Springs interchangeable between C5 & C6?

Most of the suspension bits seem to be, springs too?

Front spring yes, rear spring no. Bushings on non C6 Z06 yes, C6 Z06 no. Sway bars-all-yes. Shocks will all bolt up , but C6 stuff is not ideal for c5's (or C6's in imho )

Thanks Danny, I was just wondering if my VBP springs will bolt on to the new C6Z (if/when I ever get one).

BTW, I just have the rear spring on now w/ the stock front spring (haven't installed new front Extreme spring).

The car has horrendous power-on oversteer--when the track temp is high, and very sensitive to elevated tire pressures.
It was very manageable when the track-temp is cool, but it finally got hot down here @ my last event--and the car was almost undriveable (would have been a great flat-tracker though ).

I hope the new front spring will solve that issue.
