Shocks
I just had Bilstein shocks put on and all I can say is WOW.
Why I didn't do this earlier when I've got a 97 with 95k on it is beyound me. I just assummed with Z51 and a corvette it rides a little rough.
I should have made this my first mod when I bought the car a little over a year ago.
What a diff in ride.

Bilsteins are a great shock. In my office we have a couple pics of racecars, all of them have a Bilstein sticker on them!!!

I did the truck at 50,000 and my Excursion at 9,000 all great improvements. OEM shocks are pure junk made to get you off the lot.

Sports are stiffer and harsher ride on road. They are better for autocrossing. Look on the net a set of 4 will run $300.
Cost me $100 to have installed which I think was a bargin.
