Might want to check with Dave Bonar - Northstar Corvettes in Mountain View. He installs a lot of these and may know someone ready to buy and he can install. I don't know what wholesale is, but he may even be interested in buying them from you himself so he can make $ on them to one of his customers. It's worth a shot and no shipping hassle.

shocks are not adjustable, not remote reservoir. they look just like the stock shocks in appearance. they are stiffer, to match the stiffer spring rate.

the shock/spring/sway bar package is as stiff as the stiffest setting of the pfadt "street" package, which is about the softest setting of the pfadt "pfatty" package. i think that a performance minded driver would find them streetable. YMMV. i understand the sway bar end links are noisy so you might want to stick with stock parts there for a street car.
the bushings in the control arms are HD rubber, so you get less compliance than stock but no worries about poly squeaks.
T1 racers, please chime in if you have comments.

Great deal on all these parts - I'm very tempted to pick them up myself to have a set of spares! Unfortunately, my car needs tranny parts and bearings more urgently than spares.
This is a great performance package for the C5 and is worth roughly 1.5 seconds/lap over stock Z06 parts with all else being equal.
The SACHS shocks were specifically designed and tuned for this exact suspension setup with much of the work done by John Heinricy (aka Henirocket) who won the T1 National Championship several times in a C5. This is exactly the system I have on my car and it is very competitive with the sexier multi-adjustable setups out there.
Bump for a great deal on a great kit, good luck with the sale!
