Default Bilstein Sport, Bilstein HD, or C6 Z06 Shocks?

i've racked up 37K miles on my '05 Z51 and want to replace the shocks with something a little better.....

most of my driving is on relatively smooth highways and freeways here in northern california....but i get out to the road courses at least three times each year, with the occasional autocross thrown in

in general, i'm looking for something better for track days, but don't want to spend a $1,000+ on konis or the like......looking for some guidance from you track people: one of the 3 shocks mentioned above? or something else?

thanks.....Lee

I'd say the C6Z shocks would be an easy upgrade for your situation.

Bilsteins can be rebuild and revalved.
