Check out our Pfadt Inverted Sport Shocks 
There is a lot of info about them on this forum, I'll let my customers speak for me rather than give you a sales pitch. $890 retail for the set of 4.
Feel free to call with specific questions.

$399 is the best bang for the buck! :)
Hi Guys,
There are a few choices here.
http://www.lgmotorsports.com/catalog...23834d18b6e411
You have these bilstein Sport shocks that for the money $399 per set will run over most shocks out there except the better coil overs. These ARE the best bang for the buck!
Then there is our LG/Billstein NON coil over that we have that works well with the factory leaf springs. This is clearly the step up and you have the ability later to switch to a full Coil Over package using the same shocks.
All of a sudden "Inverted" is the catch phrase, but our Bilstein packages for both coil over or non coil over have always been "Inverted" for all the good reasons.
In addition, our Bilstein non coil over shocks come with full Spherical bearing ends for positive wheel control and instant shock reaction. **No lag between the wheel movement and the shock control on our shocks.
Call for special deal on these. You get all you need for a future upgrade to our coil over package and one of the best German shocks available for a street or race car. (ask Porsche why they run Bilstein?)
And as always, our leader is the LG Bilstein Coil over package complete for $2395.

IDK if that's still true; last I checked the Bilstein Sports and the '04 Sachs shocks were about the same price, and getting the Z06 shocks can sometimes be a hit/miss affair.
They do work quite well, though!
Have a good one,
Mike

If you can't afford the Penske/Hardbar 8200LE ($550 per shock without the springs shown) the next best would be the Bilstiens from LG. Remember though, the Penske 8200 allows an upgrade path, and are infinitely rebuildable, and after 4-5 years you will get 50%-75% back if you decide to sell them. Also, we dyno each shock so if you smack a corner you can be back to exactly where you were. Perhaps when you consider everything, the Penske 8200 LE might be the best bang for the buck.
