C6Z -vs- Bilstein Shocks

Are the Bilsteins much better than the C6 Z06 shocks?
Who has the best price on Bilsteins.
Thanks for the info and opinions.

No experience with the C6Z but I can say that the bilstein Sports are AWESOME, brought an entirely new feeling to the car. They can typically be found for about $300 a set.

I'd get the Bilsteins. I have the C6Z's on my car right now but have driven a car with Bilstein Sports and thought they were better.

Due to the $236 price tag through Gene Culley for the C6Z06 shocks, I can't see buying the 04Z06 shocks

Thanks for the help fellas. I ordered Bilstein Sports today. Got them for $299, but the shipping was bucks. It still baffles me how some vendors charge $100 more for the same parts.
