IMO, the 84 Z51 got a bit of a bum rap due to Gatorbacks and Bilsteins.
With 11's on the rear, the car handled great and the C5 brakes matched that. When I put in the ZF-6, it seemed to move the CG a bit more towards the middle of the car because overall it felt pretty neutral through the corners. It was about the equivalent of the Perf setting with my Morocca(sp?) valving. With the FX3 not sure you'd need the Z51 springs, but I had thought of getting the 84 Z51 steering rack. That was quick.
