Default ? on shocks

I replaced my stock shocks on my vert with C6Z06 shocks. They are to stiff for me. I would like to replace them with shocks that are more forgiving. Am looking for comfort not performance. Any suggestions? I was thinking of billistien, eckler or monroe.

The Konis FSD's are a great shock and I swapped out my F45's for them and they are what you are looking for

they are actually great shock absorbers (c6z06) i'm suprised you don't like them, what suspension do you have and what tires. I found that by putting those shocks in it eliminated skipping around corners at higher speeds especially if you hit a bump in the turn, and they felt softer than my z51 setup with runcraps, I find it very comfortable...doesnt mean much JMHO, to each their own....good luck

Go to www.thelapd.com. They were running a special here on the Forum @$599 delivered for a set. I'm sure Shawn or Al will set you up!

Bill,
I went to their website and did not see 599.00 shipped. Is there a code I need or do I need to call in the order?

That is a smokin deal and less than I paid for mine and I put several hundred spirited miles on my Vette today and it was fun. Call them tomorrow and ask for the special they are great to work with

They're not cheap, but are truly amazing.
