I replaced the stock shocks on my base 09 a few years ago with bilstein b6s. Imo, they're what the car should have came with. Barely any stiffer, but feels much more composed

I'm pretty sure only the z06, zr1, and gs got the 33 spline axles. I can tell you my base 09 has 30 splines. I hear c5 axles are the typical upgrade

I'm pretty sure the manual transmission does not take 75w-90. The manual transmission fluid is more like atf. Manuals used to call for dexron 3 atf, as did autos. The autos switched to dexron 6,...
