Anyone using 2006 Z06 shocks?
I am gettign ready to upgrade my 02 C5 to Z06 sway bars and I am seriously thinking about upgrading my shocks at the same time. I understand that 06 Z06 shocks will fit a C5. Has anyone tried this setup and if so how did it affect handeling?

Probably a day late and a dollar short, but I put 'em on about 8 months ago. Much more predictability going in/out of turns, and a much better ride than Z51 shocks. Only problem I've encountered was a bit of oscillating on a horribly bumpy stretch of interstate around here.

Would like to know that too. Also, when you guys are talking about the "Z06 sway bar", which generation sb are you using, C5 or C6. finally, whats a good price for all 4 shocks
Thanks
