I've got the shocks. Maybe the best investment I've ever made in the Vette. If you're looking for a firm ride but don't want to be beat to death on rough roads this is the shock. It really is an active shock too. The valve inside them opens up and cushions the ride when you hit the rough stuff, but it goes right back to firm when the road turns smooth. Edelbrock makes them in house, right here in the U.S.....

Plus I found out something yesterday about those great German Bilsteins. Even though it's a performance shock, they use plain old rubber bushings on the ends.... Every shock Edelbrock makes comes with poly bushings.....

I put brand new KYB Gas-Adjust shocks on the back and the ride was WAY too Soft for my taste. I really like the firmness of the Edelbrock shocks...you can't go wrong, and worth the extra money.

I also have a 360lb fiberglass monospring which assists as well...but the KYB's just didn't do it for me.
