shock absorbers

[gbik]

Last week when changing oil on my vette, I noticed the RH front shock was oily. therefore time for new shocks. I am looking for advice on replacements. I have standard suspension, no electric shocks. I see Lingenfelter as Bilstein HD and Sport available. and edelbrock also. Thanks Jay

HI there,
If you are looking for better handling, I would suggest 04 ZO6 shocks from GM.
Very good ride and excellent handling. And if they are installed at a GM dealer, you have a lifetime warranty.

Can you install Z06 shocks if you have the adjustable ride option?

HI there,
No, this is not for the F45 ride control.
However, there is a magnetic ride control upgrade available for these models.
Allthebest, c4c5

Do you know about how much?

HI there,
Last time I checked the pricing, about $1700.
That could have changed.
Allthebest, c4c5

Thanks 68Roadster, Yes I'm a do it yourselfer. At least as far as these shocks go. Replacing them doesn't look too trick, no electric sensors to calibrate with computer etc. A person has to know their limitations. thanks again Jay

No problem....if you go this way, please let me know how they are, from installation to ride change.

Have fun!
