C5 Corvette Bilstein Shocks @CCA
Bilstein Shocks for the C5 Corvette
Improve the handling or just replace the worn out shocks on your C5 Corvette with Bilstein Shocks.
The Heavy Duty Shocks are designed to be the replacement equivalent to your original equipment shocks.
The Sport Shocks offer an increase in stiffness and ant-roll and are ideal for those wanting an affordable way to
improve the handling on their 1997 - 2004 C5. With either choice, you will enjoy the increase in quicker reaction
times, ride quality and tire patch contact.

Mine are the B8s, and I have the z51.
Car is unflappable.
Or less unflappable than I am.
In truth, I’m kinda flappable - I’ve become a screechy old lady in my late 50’s. 🤨

The Sport Shocks are not really for street cars unless you use the car on the race track / auto x
As noted, they are substantially stiffer than the Heavy Duty Shocks
The Heavy Duty Shocks are closer to the OEM stock shock

Bilstein says that these are only for lowered cars. Can somebody help me understand why they're saying that if we're putting them in our stock cars? Fully compressed length and fully extended length are not defined. I cannot make a judgment call without data. Who has the information necessary to make this determination?

Almost due for a new set on all corners, need to double check what’s on there now but she is Z51 and rides almost perfect now,
So from a “firm/stiffness level” is this the correct order from low to high?
C5 Stock
Bilstein HD
C6 Z06
Bilstein Sport
is that accurate?
thx 😎🍻
