There are three recent post on shocks and better handling. They address everything that you need to know. Check those out.

I switched to C6 ZO6 shocks and had EXCELLENT results.

IMO, Bilstein Sports were the best for me ($280). C6Z06 shocks are 80 bucks less, but the sports have a shorter valving if your car is lowered a little. My vette is not lowered and the sports are still fantastic for me.

Vette Brakes and Parts on the forum was the best vendor I found to get Bilstein Sports.

Recently picked up a set of sports. Slightly harsher ride but they helped reduce my wheel hop considerably. I would recommend them.
