Default 1998 Shocks
Hi Guys
I have a buddy who has the selective ride but the shocks have gone bad.

We are going to deprogram it with tech 11 and change out the shocks.

Question; he is looking for just a decent ride, which shocks do you guys recommend ?

Cheers

Nigel

I have a set of four shocks I just took off a couple of weeks ago to do an upgrade to the C6 Z06 shocks. They came off a '97 with 33K street miles (no track). They work fine.

If you are interested, I will sell for $75 plus shipping.

A set of Bilsteins or some C6 Z06 shocks would be good choices for your car.

Yep - understand - no problem.

I will try to post up a pic tonight for you...they're just decent, low-mileage OEM shocks off a base suspension car.

No - nothing bent or broken. I see what you are talking about - just the camera angle I guess.
