I should learn how to type and think at the same time!
What I was thinking and trying to type at the same time was didn't Bilstien make all the OEM shocks for the C4's....maybe I'm wrong.
I would think that the ride is more a function of our leaf springs rather than the shocks....our springs are way stiff and I doubt that different shocks could help the ride quality in a C4...JMHO.

I have no idea if the Delco shocks are Bilstiens. If they are, that's a heck of a deal.

I know the front in my 91' are yellow with a Bilstien label on them. They are beat up enough to be original

The Delco shocks are Delco shocks. Bilstein doesn't make them. Delcos are not NEAR the shock Bilstein is.

My 95 has yellow Bilstein with AC Delco lables on them also. I bought a set of Bilstein from MidAmerica for $299.99. That's almost $300.00, but hay, they are yellow and not black. I would never put black shocks on a red Corvette

Dale, I don't know if this chart will be of any use:o ....but it has specific shock info for C4's.

maybe you can use it to figure out which shocks came as OEM on your C4.
