Z51 Coupe here. Replaced my shocks with C6 Z06 shocks from GM Partshouse. I don't care if other setups are a teensy weensy better! These shocks are very good under my car!
p.s. I also installed metal end links on the sways!

You should take a look at our Johnny O'Connell shocks. They offer a nice performance increase over the C6Z shocks without a significant change in ride quality. They are everything good about the Z06 shocks without a lot of the oversteer and instability over rough surfaces that can be seen with the C6Z shocks.
They are also built on the same Sachs assembly line as the OEM shocks to our own damping rates and specifications... so you can expect the same long service life just like the OEM shocks. Pair the shocks with our Johnny O'Connell sway bars and take your Corvette to the next level of performance!
