Transforming C5 Corvette Suspension for under $500
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 гру 2024
- With 175k on the clock, this corvette needed a suspension refresh. I upgraded to C6 Z06 shocks, poly sway bushings, and serviceable end links. The car feels transformed.
What a save at 1:01!!! Mad skills
Drift king lol
"Cheap-06". I like it. :) Thanks again, Zent.
Thanks!
I'm glad I found your channel, looking forward to getting tips on what to do to my C5
I have an old Ford triple black I like that idea of the shocks if I can remember
Do you have a part number for the end links by Moog?
Can you make a video of all the track day costs you need? Including the track costs and track insurance, tires, helmet, etc, I'm new to this and looking to get into track days on a local track like you.
Yes but it's going to be a case of how fast you want to go. I can do a video where I lay out my costs and let you decide where to put your money.
ZentRose yeesss like for the zo6 or the s2000
Hey Zent, good info about suspension. I went the expensive route and put on GM T1 sways. But it sounds like you did it right. Didn't know C6 shocks were interchangeable with C5. Thanks man!
Good choice. Shocks and sways were one of the first performance things I did on my Z06 around 90k miles.
Thanks, enjoy the Z!
Is there a way to re-magnatize or use the old shocks without taking them out? I like an option of an adjustable ride, but my c5 is movie side to side.
I will be using this channel to help resurrect my C5.
Are you still happy with the C6 Z06 shocks - any issues?
I would love to see the shock install video that you mention here.
The memory card got corrupted so I never posted it. I just use zip ties to keep the shock compressed while installing the shocks on the c5.
@@ZentRose Bummer! Thanks for the response.
Good stuff friend.
Could you put a link to the shock, bushings, and end link in the video or reply to this comment?
I’m looking for that how-to video mentioned. Can someone link to it?
Me too. Where is it @zentrose?
What shocks did you bought for the z.
Just changing the bushings made you notice a difference? im thinking of going with the full hotchkis sway bars and new end links. subscribed to see the cars transformation , got a c5 a few months ago
Thanks for the sub. It made a difference just because my old ones were in such poor shape. Fresh stock bushings would feel pretty good too.
Great videos. I picked up a high mileage C5Z last year and am doing a budget track type of build as well. Tons of Moog parts! How's the rack on yours?
The rack seems to be in good shape. I flushed the power steering fluid when I got the car and haven't had any issues yet.
Are you going to lower it using the bolts or whatever people do with these?
Hey I am an s2000 owner and would like to see more s2000 content from you I like watching your videos
You said yours is a 02', correct me if I'm wrong but I believe I saw a 50th anniversary badge meaning it's a 03' then right? Lol
Correct, the black C5Z is a 2003 and my old yellow C5Z is a 2002.
I went a step farther and did full poly on everything. So far car handles like it’s on rails
Excellent!
@Diet Coke what all did you change?
Will do this to my 99 c5 thank you
Awesome, enjoy your car!
Did mine for $0 . Removed front bolts completely and cut the rear bushing down to nothing. Ride is an aquured taste but its lowwwww😊
I'll subscribe if you never make another video wearing flip flops with pants. Lol...
I am literally you, did all of these 3 months ago.
Sweet enjoy it!
Make DIY videos!
why is this an ad i mean corvettes are amazing but why an ad?
I am a graduate student working with adwords. I wanted to see if I could reach corvette enthusiasts with very low bids. I'm spending $5 a day to make $15. If you want to know more feel free to subscribe. I'm not selling anything, it's free!
ah, i see. just wondering why a video like this would be an ad, nice to know you're not a sellout. amazing c5 by the way
