Default C4 Shock Absorbers

I have a 1995 LT1. I see references to Z51's, Z52's, Base, and FX-3. How can I figure out what type of shocks I need.... any one know ? Thanks...

Check your RPO codes for your suspension option. They are all Bilstein shocks.

Z51 shocks if there is some autox use, base shocks otherwise.

Spending 50 seconds running around traffic cones in a shoping center parking lot. You can spend more time if you are really slow, like you can take 150 shots to go 18 holes on you local golf course.

LET THE FLANES BEGIN :D :D :D :D

Having a little :reddevil :blueangel: :jester

If you dont know what 'autox' is, then you dont need the Z51 shocks. :D

Its autocrossing, they set up a small race course, usually in a parking lot or airport taxiway, and you race around by yourself trying to get the best times of the group.
