Default F45 shocks
What would the value of a complete set front/rear F45 shocks be worth?
I have a working set that came off a 2002 with no leaks.

I'd say it depends on how many miles are on the shocks? I have a 2K Vert with the F45. I bought a spare set of F45 shocks and the computer for $500 from a forum member that upgraded from F45 to the F55 setup ($2500) many years ago. They had only 12K miles on them.

16K on them.
Figured $300, that almost covers the price of the C6 ZO6 shocks I replaced with.

Is there a noticeable difference with the C6 Shocks?
Is it worth the swap?
