Really? These guys will be disappointed to hear that since they sell leaf springs for front and rear of a C5 (C6 is the same)

Add these GM factory Z51 Springs to your C5 and Increase performance and handling. Excellent upgrade for F45. If you would like better cornering ability without that racecar ride, these are the springs for you. Package is complete with front and rear Z51 springs.

I wouldn't say pushrods are doomed to failure. The new Z06 makes 500hp with a plain ole pushrod motor. GM is a big company, if they thought pushrods were pointless, they wouldn't continue developing them.
