Default Shock information needed

As I do my search for new shocks for my C5 coupe. I am looking to put Z06 shocks on my car. My question is this, outside of price, what is the difference between the C6 Z06 shock and the C5 Z06 shock? Thanks in advance.

I have the C6 shocks and love them, espicially for what I paid. 200 shipped two years ago.

they did bring the car up just a little, but I lowered it anyways and combined with Z06 springs, my 98 vert is a blast in the twisties.

Not much difference. Nothing you can feel driving. I've owned 04,06,07 Z06 shocks, Dbl, and triple adj Penske's. Right now I'm riding on the 07 OEM Z06 shocks. Couldn't be more happy.
