They are really not that much, I think they are somewhere around $80 a piece. I was delivered mine via a red chevy pickup and was given a price I wasn't going to complain about and just installed them as fast I could, with the help of STANGKILLER, before the awesome delivery man changed his mind!

I believe the sports are used if you have the Z51 package

I have a '99 as well. The Z51 suspension was an option on the '99 (I cant speak for other years) and you would have had to have ordered that. If not then you got the base suspension and you would not get the Billstein Sport Shocks but rather the Billsteins shocks made for the C5 base suspension

Now that was confusing

So if you have a 98 base suspension just get the sports Bilstein Shocks?
