replacement shocks

looking to order some shocks for my 01 Z, my car is slammed with long bolt kit in the rear and cut bushing in the front, so looking for something that works well with the car being lowered, not looking to spend more than $500 either, someone recommended the bilstein sports to me but wanted to get other opinions

thanks

Mitchell

Best bang for your buck under $500 is probably a set of C6Z shocks. Get a

i have read on here, that the c6z shocks are way worse than the stock c5 ones if you are lowered.

That I honestly can't comment on, so you should definitely do more research before purchasing.

Bilstein Sports. Same shock that I have in my car. The only better shock would be $750 Pfadt or $1000 Hal QA1's. I have a set of DRM coilovers for sale.
