just picked up some 2013 grand sport shocks for my 98 vette. My question is do I need to do anything modification wise to install them? Also do you guys purchase new bolts for the shocks, or just reuse the originals?

I just finished installing c6 GS shocks on my 2001 coupe. No modifications needed and I reused all bolts. Good luck and use some type of penetrate on the rear upper bolts before you try to remove them.

I assume you mean the lower bolts in the rear. Same bolts but only torque to 105 ft-lbs not the 160ft-lbs or so some of the manuals have listed.

No I am talking about the upper bolts. two smaller bolt shown in the attached picture.




the top two small bolts that mount the shock to the frame of the vehicle

No need to replace them either unless you damage them.
