Hey guys...my vette is back on the road!!!

In other news, I pulled off the Bilsteins and went a different route. Truth be told, once the car was back on the road, it had a weird rear suspension lean.

We pulled the shocks off (originally thinking they were the issue) turns out the rear leaf spring was warped.

So while it was all apart we just replaced the whole deal. Springs and shocks.

After the "push test" these shocks feel good, but I want the buyer to be aware. They have about 30k on them.

100 bucks plus shipping. Local is always best. I am in the DFW, TX area.

You forgot to add the Corvette tax.

No self-respecting Vette owner is going to look at these unless you say "$300 or OBO" ................ I think

Question for you about the installation of these shocks. I have read that they are about 1/4 inch longer than the OEM shocks, and that this presents some kind of challenge on installation.
Could you give me any help with understanding this, and if it is even true?
Thanks

hmm...not sure I did not do the install or removal, but my shop had no problems with them so I highly doubt there is anything noteworthy here.

IF the local cash sale doesn't work out how much would you sell them for shipped to 34473? My shocks have almost 100k miles on them and I would like to replace them.
