Default Shock upgrade

Looking to buy new shocks for my 2000 coupe. Heard the new 2013 Z06 shocks were a very good replacement. Can someone give me the front and rear part numbers cost and the best place to purchase thanks in advance

Yes, the C6 Z06 shocks are a good upgrade for the C5. Check with the forum OEM parts vendors and see what kind of price you can get.
