Any info on these yet? Do they bolt on C5s? Why are they 1/2 the price of 2004 Z shocks?

I would like to know about these also. I was planning on buying the Bilstein sports but i may consider these if they will give along the same lines of performance.

Is the price quoted at 190.99 shipped correct? Do they bolt up to a C5? Why is there a large spread in cost 04 vs 06

I too would like to get info on these...I was going to also go with 04 Z06's but if these would fit...it may be the way to go...price is certainly right!

Who is going to call Gene and get the deal? Seems like there are at least 10 of us who want these...

---------------------------------------------------------------------

OK...I just called and spoke to Dave (he works parts also) he said they "look" as though they would fit as the design is similar- however no one has ordered a set for a C5 and tried them out. Who wants to be the guinea pig?
