Default Are these shocks
the HD ones or not? I´ve seen another set where the rears have a black upper "sleeve".
Quite a difference when one set costs 300.00 USD and the other (with the black sleeve) costs 370.00 USD.

Here it is: http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/corve...1989-1996.html

It´s the base suspension I have on my 1991 coupé.

These are the Bilstein HD shocks. The Sport shocks are for the Z51.

Are there possibly other vendors that have them for that price, I had some bad experiences with Ecklers before?

Yeah - there's nothing exclusive about Ecklers having them. I got mine at Vette Brakes & Parts a few years ago.

All the Corvette catalogs have them. Ecklers usually has the best price.
The HD shocks are designed to work with the base suspension.
