Default Shocked!

Well I think both of my rear shocks are shot at 100k miles...
My car is a Z51, what is the best shocks out there for the price?
I'd prefer something that that will make the car handle better over ride quality.

About how much is this gonna set me back? I like how my transmission syncros, wheel bearings, shocks, and cd player all fail at once... Bad enough im a college student with bills, my C4 never had any crazy issues like my C5.

The C6Z shocks are around $280. Of course you'd install them yourself.

Oh okay thanks, I think I will go with the C6Z shocks... Pretty easy to install myself? I'm not afraid to turn a few wrenches, but nothing crazy. Looks like my rear end is actually sittin high, weird... Should I not be driving it?
