Shocks
What are the best shocks to replace my factory shocks on my 98 coupe? I was thinking about going with Bilstein is this a good choice?

C6Z06 or Bilstein Sport depending on what kind of track racing, if any, you plan on doing. Don't forget to replace the plastic factory end links. Get the 2013 metal end links and you won't regret it.

That's what I put on my `02 coupe - - it had the original shocks still at 60k---so these are a real improvement.

C6Z06 shocks are a good bet, several forum venders sell them and the prices are very reasonable.
