Hey all who have done the swap - I have a quick question. The C6 rear shocks have a slightly different mount at the top of the rear shock - it's slightly offset with a white paint dot.
The only way I see it would work is white dot out. Do we use the new mount or swap out the mount with the old shock?
Thanks all
Fronts are in - those were easy peasey .

I do my own work - so I was hoping someone who did this themselves would chime in. I mounted them as I saw fit and found this old thread - apparently someone else who works on their own stuff pays attention to details too lol
Thank you for the quick reply though!

I am betting Evil-Twin or Bill Curlee did theirs themselves - maybe one of them will see this and tell me how they crossed the bridge. This is good info for anyone who does it themselves and comes across this thread in the future. I left the new angled mount on and mounted it with the white dot "out" (visible) for any future readers.

Anyone who works on their own cars who did this? Or did everyone say they installed them and that means they paid to have them installed? LOL

I did the Z06 shocks a few years ago and remember seeing this angle mount. I remember installing them with the widest part of the mount on the inside to give the shock the natural slant position. (if this makes sense to you)

Been raining all day - I can't wait to drive it on some dry roads.
