Default Z06 vs Bilstein shocks

I've got a stock '99 C5 Coupe with 108,000 miles on her and I'm ready to replace shocks (standard). She's an everyday driver in all weather conditions. I want to upgrade my shocks and am considering either Z06 or Bilstein Heavy Duty. Any suggestions from anyone who has experienced both. Not sure what to expect from either shock or how they will differ from my stock ones. Thanks

I also have a 99 Coupe and consider to swap to firmer shocks. The stockers are WAY to soft for my riding. I did consider KONI adjustable but they are to expensive for me. Is the bilstein shocks much stiffer than stock? I swapped car with a friend of mine the other day (Ferrari 348tb) and i loved the firm feeling!

I went with the bilstein sports cause I read they were shorter than the stockers which works better for lowered..

Praise the lowered..

Lowered have mercy..
