Shocks after ZZ4 motor swap
Hello, just completed the ZZ4 swap and now looking at suspension. It seems to be lower in front and looking for the right shocks for the front. I will be using AC Delco for rear to have a softer rider but not sure what is the best set-up for the front Bilsteins HD or other aftermarket. Suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you Sam

I would of expected the front to be higher by about 1/8", due to less engine wgt. (ZZ4 has aluminum heads - approx. 50 lbs. less wgt on front end)..............
As for shocks, I have used Bilsteins on other year Vettes, and think they are superior to the Delcos. But I used the "Sports", and like a firmer ride.
