That's awesome - looks like a direct bolt-on too! How about the shocks - don't they have that new magnetic-ride crap in the '10 Z06? Does that make a difference?

yes please get a good set of jack stands, that looks dangerous. especially that black jack looks like a stock emergency jack. id be scared to get under that. :nod: especially after i had a jack slowly give out on me a year or two back while measuring the yoke on my trans am. scared the hell out of me.

jack stands are under the front craddle (you can see the base of one in the first and last pic... im not that retarted lol)... the black jack is an SUV jack while the red one is a low profile one for the vette

all parts are direct bolt one.... C6 used the C5 suspension :) no mag ride crap lol

Magnaride was not on the Z06 untill the recent Z07 performance package gave it the ZR1's brakes, shocks, wheels and tires.

Magnaride was standard on the old Z51. Not sure if the new Grand Sport has the same system, of it uses the Z06's standard shocks which are not computer controled.
