Default FS: Johnny O'Connell Shocks for C7 3,000 miles

I replaced the stock Bilstein Z51 shocks with these in early 2016 because Konis were not available. Konis became available late in 2016 and I changed the O'Connell's for Konis.

These shocks cost $800 for the set, I'm asking $500 and you pay the shipping.

Note: Once you put Koni C7 shocks on your C7 you have to drill out all four of the upper shock mounts because the Koni shaft is wider than stock Bilstein or Johnny O'Connell shafts. So you can never go back unless you replace the upper shock mounts.

3-18-2017 How about $400 and you pay shipping?

The JOC's ride harder than the Konis. Konis are a bit softer.

They rode firmer than the stock Z51 Bilsteins.

Would you sat that the JOC shocks were actually harsh or too firm for the street? I live in Pennsylvania and I drive on some rough pavement and roads at times

The JOC's weren't too harsh or firm for the street, but I like a firmer ride. If you have rough pavement and roads, you might not like them. I autocross on occasion and they were better than the stock Z51 Bilsteins.
