The shocks that are on my 99, are stock, although 20 year old, they aren't leaking fluid, seem firm, rebound nicely, 70 thousand miles on the clock... Flat, firm, ride shows me the four continue to perform as Corvette intended....... Nothing indicates to me, the driver, the shock absorbers needed replacing.. I don't drive in competition but do drive long distance border to border yearly. I'm not hijacking the subject but expanding it. When, generally dose one KNOW shocks must be replaced. 😏

+1 on DRM Bilstein shocks. Check them out and if you still have money burning a hole in your pocket after factoring in an anti-sway bar upgrade, then pop back here and tell us what "a butt ton of money" means, AKA - your budget.

Well, my car went to the shop today for the clutch change. I had not been able to see my shocks before since my car is lower than the standard height.
My shocks are Bilsteins. I'm keeping them. The car never seemed to need shocks, I just figured it would be a good time seeing as it was getting pieces yanked out underneath.
I am getting sway bar links and new bushings in the back end and the fronts looked good.
Thank you for all of the recommendations though.
