Re: Z06 shocks 2003 vs 2004 (Jim 47)
I read an article somewhere that the new shocks in the '04's are a great improvement. Lots of track time at that long German track with the horrendous name - Nurburing or something like that.
Completely recalibrated..

Does anyone really know (show me the data) or is one of those "old wives tales"??? :confused:

Combine that with the fact they turned the best times EVER at the Nuremburg (?sp) track and you have an amazing set of shocks....and no, the sport or heavy duty Bilsteins don't come close to matching the performance!

Double check that video. The only one I'm aware of compares the new active suspension with the Vette conventional shocks. Having said that, I've seen several articles and a couple of threads on the forum which state the difference with the new Z06/04 shocks is real. :cool:
