Need some new shocks.
After 117,000 miles, it's time for some new shocks on my Z51 equipped supercar.
What would be a good replacement shock for my car, which is mostly highway driven?

Many guys here are happy with the C6Z shocks, which are far less expensive than the '04 C5Z shock.
I went with Bilstein Sports on my FRC and have been very pleased with the performance. I got them from Randy@DRM--good price and great service.
Of course, everyone tends to advocate what they purchase, but you can try some searching for reviews on the choices available.

I have the C6Z shocks and think they work great. I know some people don't like them. I like Bilsteins from my other cars but never had them in a vette. But how can you go wrong with Z shocks for the price Gene sells them for.

Koni FSD's. I switched from Bilstein Sports. The Dual stage system is pretty neat. Gives you the soft cushy quality over bumps etc, but firms up during braking/cornering etc. There's a reason they're used OEM on the Gallardo. But they're pricey.
