Yes, we sell plenty of them for this reason. We sell these with the C6 Z51 sway bars, which is our best selling combination.

What's the advantage on a 2003 Z06? Will they work on a 1" lowered Z06?

Better rebound damping at the rear. After 04 the shocks got revalved for Z06s to take care of the slight handling issue created bump bumps in curves...
