Important! Shocks & Handling

[ken mohr]

You can go here and read and check. You have to have RPO's z51 and FX3. Then it is listed COUPES. I guess what I'm trying to say is if you don't have the Z51 you don't have the selective ride. Don't order the selective ride and have to pay return shipping.

For those that still have their original Bilsteins. I believe you can send them back to Bilstein to have them rebuilt. They can re-valve them to give you the ride and handling characteristics you're looking for.

I am not sure if it was standard on convs. If you have a ride control switch on the console then you have the z51 option. Maybe someone can chime in and correct me if I am wrong. I believe the peform pac has adj ride control. PM gm Junkie

My 89 is definitely not a Z51 car. It is my understanding that Z51 was not an option for any convertible. I was just wondering how/why Zip products offers Z51 Bilsteins specifically for convertibles?

oh hey, i was just browsing through some old posts. you say you took 66 from kankakee to lincoln? i just found out yesterday my nephew is going to kankakee college on a baseball scholarship... so i'll be taking that trip a lot.
as far as the vette goes, i'm putting in a new transmission next month, pretty stoked about that. anyway, take care of that 88, you don't know how much better you got it than us 84 guys !!!!111
