Hey guys I finnaly bought my sway bars. C6 Z06 Sway bars and poly bushings, with steel end links. I have a budget of $400 for shocks. Im thinking of getting either c6 Z shocks, Bilestein sports, or Bilstein HD. What is the best bang for the buck. Or is there another type of shock that I can get with in that price range.

i put bilstein sports on but found they raised my car .went back to the oem z06 shocks. now i have pfadt coil overs. so i would be happy to sell you my 2003 z06 shocks.also have the factory springs with rear lowering bolts and urethane bushings. $300.00 for all ,you pay shipping. do not get the heavy duty bilsteins if you go bilstein stay with the sports if you dont mind a little height. my ph # 954 435 6667. good luck

I have Bilstein Sports and they did not raise my car
I highly doubt that the gas pressure is high enough for it to permanently raise the car.
Maybe when you first put them on , but long term I seriously doubt it and it sure hasn't been the case on my car.

I'm happy for the price
If you race you probably should get something adjustable.

I have Bilstein HD shocks and love them. I am lowered on WCC bolts and the ride is stiff but not too bad. Never had any issues or complaints, drag race too :thumbsup:

I currently have the Bilstein Sports, and I love them, they are great when you term it 'bang for your buck' The only ones I would replace these with would be the pfadt coilovers, but my pockets aren't quite that deep at the moment... But they too shall come soon enough. But if you ask for my 2cents, I would say the Bilstein Sports, I have had no issues with them at all, and the ride height wasn't affected at all by these for me

Good luck, let us know which ones you go withartyon:

Anybody that has installed the C6Z shocks has raved about the difference. Plus they're relatively cheap.

I just bought a set of Bilstein sports for my friend. They were $327.00 but the vendor knocked off a few bucks beause I was a nice guy. They're not a vendor here but I did ask him about a GP. PM me if you're interested.
