C6Z shocks are a great upgrade and a direct bolt on.

I'm close to pulling the trigger on a set of Bilstein HD's. I hear they are excellent and come with a lifetime warranty. Can't argue with that.

Bilsteins made my C5 ride like a truck. KYBs felt good.

C6Z shocks are a good choice. Bilstein Sports are also good ones.

Which ones did you have? HD's or SP's? I'm just curious because I have been told that the HD's gives a close-to-stock ride firmness and the SP's are very firm made more for track.
