Considering new shocks...
My car has really stiff gas shocks on it right now. Like that when I got it, and I'm not sure of the age of the shocks or the mileage. I am considering some new shocks because I am never going to race, and the roads in michigan are horrible for such stiff shocks.
For basic street cruising, with the ability to take a few curves here and there, what should I expect to pay for shocks? What brands do you guys like? How long should they last?
Thanks for suggestions...

What year is your vette? Does it have gymkana suspension? I have the gymkana suspension with metal 9-leaf spring and swaybar (that's about the extend of gymkana influence) and am running Gabriel (gas matics I think).
