Definitely metal in the rear, front was hard to tell as theyre a little dirty. Based on pics of the oem metal ones, im guessing mine are already though.

For all 4 shocks, use part number 04z06shocks under Chevrolet make.

except i would buy from anyone except that person stated above
check gm parts direct. usually cheaper, pace performance also typically price matches.
actually, if it's a base car i would get the c6z shocks. they are cheaper and similar to the 04s
the only time i would buy 04s is on a real z06. #1 it keeps it all stock and #2 they are simply wonderful with the oe spring rate and sway bars

My question was for the original poster. If you have a Z06, you have metal end links. a 99 FRC does not. No worries.....
